Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology Candidate: Bc. Blanka Kaluzsná Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Lubomír Opletal, CSc. Title of Diploma Thesis: Biological activity of plant metabolites XXIII. alkaloids of Corydalis cava (l.) Schweigg. & Körte and their effect on acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase An ether extract which contained tertiary basic alkaloids was prepared from the dry bulb of Corydalis cava (L.) SCHWEIGG. & KÖRTE. A subfaction labeled 2/B was obtained by column chromatography and crystallization. Three alkaloids were isolated by preparative TLC and they were identified by GC/MS and 1 H a 13 C NMR analyzes as (+)-canadine, (+)-tetrahydropalmatine and domestine. Isolated alkaloids were tested by spectrophotometric Ellman method for inhibitory activity against human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (HuBuChE). In comparison with the refernce substances, from these isolated alkaloids only (+)-canadine showed an relatively high inhibitory activity against HuAChE (12,4 µM). (+)-Tetrahydropalmatine and (+)-domestine had no significant inhibitory activity in this direction, against both HuAChE and HuBuChE. Key words: Corydalis cava, (+)-canadine, (+)-tetrahydropalmatine,...
