Vítovcová, Aneta ; Ločárek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Chlebek, Jakub (referee)
Vítovcová, A.: Biological activity of secondary plants metabolites IV. Alkaloids of Vinca minor L. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové 2016. Extract of Vinca minor L. was separated to fractions in column chromatography. Flash chromatography, preparative TLC and crystalisation led to isolation of two alkaloids from fraction number two and number five. Alkaloids were identified by GC/MS as (+)-vincaminorine and vincorine. These alkaloids were tested for their inhibition activity towards cholinesterase (AChE and BuChe). Obtained activities IC50 were compared with standards (galanthamine, huperzine A). The most interesting activity against galanthamine (AChE 1,710 ± 0,065 µM, BuChE 42,30 ± 1,30 µM) and huperzine A (AChE 0,033 ± 0,001 µM, BuChE > 1000 µM) showed vincorine (AChE > 1000 µM, BuChE 9,75 ± 0,45 µM). His activity toward BuChE is higher than the activity of both standards. Inhibition activities of (+)-vincaminorine (AChE 746,5 ± 84,13 µM, BuChE 684,32 ± 70,66 µM) are negligible. Key words: Alzheimerʼs disease, cholinesterase, Apocynaceae, Vinca minor L., indole alkaloids

Teplanská, Michaela ; Hulcová, Daniela (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy Candidate: Michaela Teplanská Supervisor: PharmDr. Daniela Hulcová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Derivatives of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid vittatine as potential drugs Haemanthamine type Amaryllidaceae alkaloids are characterized by interesting biological activity. This group also includes alkaloid vittatine with antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal and antimalarial effects. Although vittatine does not inhibit cholinesterases, its derivatives have shown promising activity against butyrylcholinesterase, which is one of the targets of potential drugs in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Another series of semisynthetic vittatine derivatives was prepared in order to examine their biological activity. Reactions with acyl chlorides gave 11 aromatic esters. Identification of the prepared substances was performed by ESI HRMS, NMR and optical rotation measurements. The derivatives were tested for inhibitory activity against human cholinesterases. The results show that the substances were not active against acetylcholinesterase, but almost all of them inhibited butyrylcholinesterase. The most active was 3-O-(6-chloro-2- fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl)vittatine with an IC50 value 0.29 ± 0.03 μM. According to the calculated value...

Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany Candidate: Dušan Zelina Supervisor: doc. Ing. Lucie Cahlíková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Derivates of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and their biological activity: Derivates of tazettine II Plants of family Amaryllidaceae are a rich source of alkaloids that are characterized by a broad biological activity. Perhaps the world's best-known member of this family has become galanthamine, which, because of its potent inhibitory potential, has found a place in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Based on the conducted studies, the alkaloid tazettine has been chosen for this thesis. The main purpose was to prepare more active derivatives of tazettine and to test the biological activity for potential use in the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Ten aromatic esters of tazettine were prepared. Reaction yields ranged from 33,5-69,3 %. Derivatives were identified by MS, NMR and optical rotation. Prepared compounds were tested for their inhibitory potential against human cholinesterases - AChE and BuChE. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to prepare derivatives, which exhibit significant activity in inhibiting AChE or BuChE. Anti-tumor activity of the derivates has been tested on the panel of selected...
