Phytochemical study of individual plant species of Bergenia genus
Hendrychová, Helena ; Tůmová, Lenka (advisor) ; Nagy, Milan (referee) ; Šmejkal, Karel (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy Candidate: Mgr. Helena Hendrychová Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Lenka Tůmová, CSc. Title of Doctoral Thesis: Phytochemical study of individual plant species of Bergenia genus Bergenia, native to central Asia, is promising source of medicinal compounds mainly in the system of Chinese and Indian traditional medicine. These species have been used for centuries in therapy of various diseases. They are valued for their ability to dissolve kidney or bladder stones. Bergenia plants are used for therapy of pulmonary diseases and cold. They have demonstrated antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, immunostimulant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, antitussive, hepatoprotective and diuretic effects. The main aim of this thesis was to determine the content of secondary metabolites (arbutin, total polyphenols, bergenin and anthocyanins) in three taxons of Bergenia genus - Bergenia crassifolia (L.) Fritsch, Bergenia ciliata (Haw.) Sternb. a Bergenia x ornata Stein., to compare their biological activities and to identify the most appropriate kind of Bergenia plants with the greatest potential for use in therapy. Plant hybrid B. x ornata was evaluated on the content of phenolic compounds and biological activity...
