Strašková, V.: Isolation of alkaloids of the species Geissospermum vellosii Allemão and study of their biological activity VII. Diploma thesis, Charles University, Pharmaceutical Faculty in Hradec Králové, Department of pharmacognosy and pharmaceutical botany, Hradec Králové 2023, 75 s. Key words: Geissospermum vellosii, bark, alkaloidal extracts, isolation of alkaloids, GC/MS analysis, biological activity, acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase. The main goal of this diploma thesis was isolation of pure alkaloids from the stem bark of Geissospermum vellosii and test their biological activity. G. vellosii is a South American tree from the Apocynaceae family. It is used in traditional medicine for various pathological conditions (e.g., bacterial, inflammatory, and fungal diseases). Indole alkaloids isolated from the stem bark of this tree exhibit significant biological activities such as antineoplastic, antimalarial, and anticholinesterase activities. For processing, the GV-2, GV-7-D, and GV-4-F fractions were selected in this diploma thesis. These fractions were obtained in previous studies from the original alkaloid extract of the stem bark, which showed interesting inhibitory activity against AchE and BuChE (AChE: IC50 = 15,19±0,96 µg/ml, BuChE: IC50 = 0,37±0,049 µg/ml). Four alkaloids,...
