Pharmaceutical application of high performance ion chromatography in analysis of organic anions and cations
Čujová, Sabína ; Pacáková, Věra (advisor) ; Čabala, Radomír (referee)
The thesis is focused on application of ion chromatography in pharmaceutical analyses of organic ions. Ion chromatography is increasingly used in the field of pharmaceutical analysis. This includes the analysis of impurities and metabolites. In the first part of this thesis, ion chromatography is compared with common separation techniques used in pharmacy, such as gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. In the second part development and validation of methods of ion chromatography for purity evaluation and quality control of active pharmaceutical substances Rivastigmine hemitartrate and Pramipexole hydrochloride were carried out. Key words: ion chromatography, reversed-phase chromatography, ion-pair chromatography, ion-exclusion chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, GC, HPLC
New antimcrobial peptides isolated from the bee venom and the study of their action mechanism
Čujová, Sabína ; Čeřovský, Václav (advisor) ; Fusek, Martin (referee) ; Hlaváček, Jan (referee)
EN The growing emergence of bacteria resistant to conventional antibiotics is very alarming. This has prompted an intensive search for alternative antimicrobial agents which kill bacteria with different modes of action than do traditional antibiotics and do not develop drug resistance. Among these, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered as promising compounds against resistant pathogens. These positively charged peptides permeabilize or disrupt bacterial cell envelope which leads to leakage of cytoplasmic components and cell death. The aim of my dissertation thesis was the study of the action mechanism of novel antimicrobial peptides which I have isolated from the venom of different wild bees. I identified six novel AMPs which were named panurgines (PNG), codesane (COD) and antapines (ANTPs). These peptides were isolated from the venom of three different bee species (Panurgus calcaratus, Collete daviesanus and Anthophora plumipes). I was also involved in the structural studies of lasiocepsin (Las), the antimicrobial peptide identified in the venom earlier in our laboratory. All studied peptides possess activity against various strains of bacteria and low or moderate hemolytic activity. We prepared series of PNG, COD and ANTP analogs in order to study the effect of physicochemical properties...

Chiroptical spectroscopy as a sensitive tool for the conformational analysis of antimicrobial peptides
Kocourková, L. ; Novotná, P. ; Čujová, Sabína ; Čeřovský, Václav ; Urbanová, M. ; Setnička, V.
We tested the utilization of electronic and vibrational circular dichroism for the conformational study of antimicrobial peptides on two examples: melectin and antapin in different solutions of liposomes and micelles mimicking bacterial or eukaryotic membranes. The results show significant content of the alpha-helical conformation in an environment mimicking the bacterial membrane, while it was considerably low in the eukaryotic membrane-mimicking environment.
Antimicrobial peptides isolated from the venom of wild bee Panurgus calcaratus
Čujová, Sabína ; Monincová, Lenka ; Slaninová, Jiřina ; Bednárová, Lucie ; Čeřovský, Václav
Three novel peptides designated as PNG-1, PNG-K and PNG-R were isolated from the venom of the solitary bee Panurgus calcaratus. They exhibited antimicrobial activity against Grampositive and -negative bacteria and fungi. In this work we focused on the characterization of PNG-R which is unique 25 amino acid residues and two disulfide bridges containing peptide. The secondary structure of PNG-R was studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy measured in water and in the presence of trifluoroethanol or sodium dodecyl sulfate.
