Study of biological effects of some plant materials
Drabíková, Nela ; Byrtusová, Dana (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the preparation of aqueous, ethanolic and hexane extracts obtained from plant sources with increased content of oil, their characterization and cytotoxicity testing. In the theoretical part, a review focused on basic information about the used plants and their effects on the human body was elaborated. Furthermore, the active ingredients of the extracts, methods of their determination and the principle of the cytotoxicity test were described. In practical part the content of polyphenols and flavonoids was determined spectrophotometrically. Further, total antioxidant activity was measured. The fatty acids composition and the percentage of individual fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography. Next, MTT cytotoxicity assay was performed using human cell culture to confirm the safety of extracts for potential use in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Development and preparation of antimcrobial nanostructure biomaterials
Drabíková, Nela ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the optimalisation of preparation and the preparation of combined nanostructured antimicrobial biomaterials itself. In the theoretical part, a review focused on used materials and consequently preparation of nanoparticles and nanofibers was elaborated. Furthermore, the used antimicrobial substances – curcumin and ampicillin, and the principle of cytotoxicity assay were described.In practical part the optimalisation process is described. Furthermore the safety of prepared materials and used antimicrobial substances on HaCaT cell line was tested, in order to confirm their possible further use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Great part of the thesis deals with evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of used substances and prepared combined nanomaterials on multiple microorganisms from grampositive bacteria, gramnegative bacteria and yeasts. Also the release speed of antimicrobial substances from prepared nanomaterials was determined by spectrophotometer. The amount of released ampicillin from prepared nanomaterials was determined by liquid chromatography.
