Synthesis and study of subphthalocyanines axially modified with an amino adamantyl
Danková, Eva ; Nováková, Veronika (advisor) ; Demuth, Jiří (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Candidate Eva Danková Supervisor doc. PharmDr. Veronika Nováková, Ph.D. Title of Thesis Synthesis and study of subphthalocyanines axially modified by amino adamanthyl Photodynamic therapy is a promising approach for cancer treatment that relies on the administration of a photosensitizer, followed by illumination of the tumor. The generated oxidative stress subsequently activates several mechanisms of cell death. One of the novel groups of photosensitizers are subphthalocyanines with a conical π surface, which renders them less prone to aggregation and offers the possibility to tune their properties through axial substitution (aside peripheral modification). Due to the lipofilicity of the macrocycle, it is necessary to increase its water solubility. This work focused on the possibility of forming supramolecular host-guest complexes with hydrophilic macrocycles in order to increase the hydrophilicity of a subphthalocyanine. In particular, cucurbituril-7 (CB[7]) was chosen since it forms one of the most stable supramolecular interactions in water with 1-aminoadamantane, which was therefore proposed as the axial substituent on subphthalocyanine core. Synthesis of the...

Design, synthesis and evaluation of pyridine derivatives as potential antimicrobial compounds
Bachtíková, Andrea ; Zitko, Jan (advisor) ; Demuth, Jiří (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Thesis title: Design, synthesis and evaluation of pyridine derivatives as potential antimicrobial compounds Author: Andrea Bachtíková Thesis supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Jan Zitko, Ph.D. Consultant: PharmDr. Martin Juhás Tuberculosis is a global problem even today. It is the second most common cause of death from infectious diseases according to the WHO and resistance to common antituberculosis drugs, which have been used in therapy for decades, increases. These facts are the main reasons why research into new potential drugs is needed. This thesis presents design, synthesis and evaluation of antimicrobial properties of a series of substituted N-oxazolyl and N-thiazolyl carboxamides of different pyridinecarboxylic acids. Final compounds were characterized by 1 H and 13 C-NMR spectroscopy, IR spectra, melting point and HRMS (High resolution mass spectrometry). Obtained compounds were tested for in vitro activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv, M. tuberculosis H37Ra and four other clinically less important mycobacterial strains. In addition, compounds were tested for antibacterial activity against four G+ and four G- bacterial strains, antifungal activity against yeasts and fungi,...

Synthesis of isoprenoid naringenin derivatives
Kernal, Jakub ; Zimčík, Petr (advisor) ; Demuth, Jiří (referee)
5 Abstract Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Candidate Jakub Kernal Supervisor prof. PharmDr. Consultant Hubert Chapuis, Ph.D. Title of Thesis Synthesis of Isoprenoid Naringenin Derivatives Naringenin as a member of flavanone subclass of flavonoids and its derivatives have been subjects of intensive study for their antibacterial, antifungal, and antineoplastic properties. Recent development in current methods of synthetic chemistry allows us to satisfy the increasing demand for these molecules by providing an alternative source of these naturally occurring substances in the means of chemical synthesis. The aim of this work was synthesis and characterization of naringenin derivatives with increased lipophilic profile which will serve in future research as potential cytotoxic agents. Two major approaches have been developed in the process of obtaining lipophilic derivatives of naringenin (Fig. 2) where the lipophilic moiety consists of terpene or terpenoid part, which is believed to increase the uptake of the desired product by cells. In the first approach, we focused on the modification of the B phenolic ring by esterification of the hydroxyl group on the 4 carbon or on the modification of both A and B...

Study of azaphthalocyanines as fluorescence quenchers in oligodeoxynucleotide probes
Demuth, Jiří ; Nováková, Veronika (advisor) ; Hocek, Michal (referee) ; Vávrová, Kateřina (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Department: Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Author: Mgr. Jiří Demuth Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Veronika Nováková, Ph.D. Consultant: prof. PharmDr. Petr Zimčík, Ph.D. Doctoral Thesis: Study of azaphthalocyanines suitable for quenching of fluorescence in oligodeoxynucleotide probes Phthalocyanines (Pcs) and azaphthalocyanines (AzaPcs) are planar macrocyclic compounds. These synthetic compounds are derived from naturally occurring dyes - porphyrins. Pcs and AzaPcs have very interesting photophysical properties due to their extensive 18 -electron conjugated system. They are used in electrotechnics, material industry or in medicinal applications. Octaalkylamino substituted tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines (TPyzPzs), which belong to AzaPc family, can quench fluorescence of other molecules due to the ultrafast intramolecular charge transfer. This thesis studies this quenching ability of TPyzPzs with the aim to develop efficient fluorescence probes. Such probes could find application in a variety of experiments across scientific disciplines i.e. - biochemistry, forensic or genetic analysis. Synthetic part of dissertation thesis is a continuation of previous investigation of TPyzPzs in our research group. It describes...
