Advanced glycation endproducts and their receptor (RAGE) in Alzheimer's disease
Štorkánová, Jesika ; Chlebek, Jakub (advisor) ; Opletal, Lubomír (referee)
Štorkánová, J.:Advanced glycation endproducts and their receptor RAGA IN Alzheimer's disease, Bachelor thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Kralove 2016, 97 p. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia of late life. AD manifests as progressive memory impairment followed by a gradual decline in other cognitive abilities. For AD is characteristic the abnormal accumulation or aggregation of proteins. Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are a heterogenous group of compounds that are formed when carbonyl group of reducing sugars reacts by a non-enzymatic reaction with amino acids in proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. The formation of AGEs promotes the deposition of proteins due to the protease resistant crosslinking, therefore is difficult to eliminace them from organism. AGEs can be detected in pathological deposits such as amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which are prominent pathological feature sof AD. The formation of AGEs activate inflammatory signalling pathways, which are mediated by their receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE). RAGE is the signal transduction receptor which distinguishes a variety of signalling molecules including AGEs, β-amyloid, HMGB1...

Dvořáková Zdeňka: Alkaloids of Narcissus 'Dutch Master' (Amaryllidaceae) and their biological activity II. Diploma thesis 2016, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology. The content of this work was isolation of compounds from the selected fraction ND-6 obtained by column chromatography of Narcissus 'Dutch Master' alkaloid extract. Preparation of extract and its column chromatography was performed by Mrg. Daniela Hulcová as part of her doctoral studies. By the means preparative TLC was from fraction ND- 6 homolycorine type alkaloid (+)-O-methyllycorenine gained. Its structure was determined on the basis NMR, GC-MS analysis and optical rotation. The obtained data were compared with facts in known literature. By the isolated alkaloid was determined its cholinesterase inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. Its inhibitory activity was expressed as IC50 (M) and compared with known standards galanthamine, physostigmine, and Huperzine A. This alkaloid is inactive against cholinesterase (IC50 AChE > 1000 M, IC50 BChE > 1000 M). On the basis of gained results, we can evaluate this alkaloid from the point of view of cholinesterase inhibition as potentially unusable in the treatment of AD. Key...
