Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Friedrich Schiller University Jena Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences Institute for Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Candidate: Veronika Měrková Supervisors: PharmDr. Hana Jansová, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Felix H. Schacher Title of diploma thesis: Co2+ loaded block copolymer micelles: Preparation and their uptake into macrophages Since lots of patients suffer from post-operative infections resulting in sepsis, there were attempts to modulate immune system response in order to treat this pathological state. Cobalt is a biogenic trace element, however its direct administration may cause immunological reactions. The immune response can be inflammatory or anti- inflammatory mediated by macrophages (MΦ). Both are responsible for specific actions, regarding MΦ activation and cytokine release. The aim of this study was to provoke such response in MΦ and therefore to possibly control the inflammatory process. Nevertheless, free cobalt ions are toxic. In order to find a suitable and safe way of cobalt administration, the triblock terpolymer PEO-b-PAGECOOH-b-PtBGE was synthesized and assembled into micelles in aqueous solution. Eventually the micelles were loaded with cobalt chloride to facilitate the detection in a...
