Synthesis of polysubstituted pyrimidines with potential anti-inflammatory properties
Kalčic, Filip
This thesis is engaged in the synthesis of polysubstituted pyrimidines with anti- inflammatory properties. Such molecules can inhibit production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The aim of this study was to enhance water-solubility and anti-inflammatory efficacy of such derivatives via structural modifications of the lead scaffold. Among applied synthetic tools, the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling was the prevalent reaction, however, many other synthetic procedures (Heck reaction, condensation, borylation, ozonolysis, nucleophilic substitution, etc.) were utilized as well. Overall, 43 final products were prepared. The anti-inflammatory efficacy (inhibition of PGE2 production) was successfully increased as the most potent compound achieved three orders of magnitude higher activity compared to the current lead structure WQE-134. Furthermore, no general influence of the length of the substituent in the C5 position of pyrimidine (C5pyr) on the anti-inflammatory efficacy of synthesized compounds was observed. Significant bioavailability obstacle in future development of the current lead WQE-134 is its poor solubility which was successfully enhanced by introduction of heteroatom bearing moieties to C5pyr. The most water-soluble compound achieved two orders of magnitude higher solubility than WQE-134 while...

Přítomnost nízkomolekulárních imunomodulátorů ve slinách klíštěte \kur{Ixodes ricinus}
HAUSEROVÁ, Simona
Ticks use proteinaceous molecules contained in their saliva to suppress immune response of the host to complete their succesful feeding. In some ticks (e.g. Rhipicephalus sanguineus) presence of non-proteinaceous molecules was discovered. The aim of this work was to determine the amount of these molecules in the saliva of Ixodes ricinus tick. Namely, prostaglandin E2 and adenosine were analyzed. The second aim of this work was to evaluate the role of both low molecular weight components (or at least one of them) in the suppression of TNF-alfa cytokine production in suitable cells by ticks saliva.
