Complex equilibriums of beta-blockers in CZE
Kanizsová, Lívia ; Zusková, Iva (advisor) ; Jelínek, Ivan (referee)
Drugs used in the pharmaceutical industry often occur as a mixture of several isomers with a different biological activity. In a case that some isomer provides an undesirable side effect, it is important to separate it from the mixture and check the chiral purity of a drug. Capillary zone electrophoresis plays a significant role in chiral separations. A different affinity of isomers to complexation reagent is used for their separation from each other. The extent of their interaction is characterized by the complexation constant. Most commonly the cyclodextrins are used for the chiral separations of β-blockers and they could be in neutral or charged form. They probably interact with them through the creation of inclusion complexes. A successful baseline enantioseparation of all the β-blockers that have been studied, labetalol, pindolol, alprenolol and atenolol, was provided by using the background electrolyte containing charged cyclodextrins. The highest resolution of peaks was observed using sulfated cyclodextrins.

Synthesis of sulphanylaminoderivatives of cyclodextrines and computational simulations of their complexes formation
Provazníková, Adéla ; Jindřich, Jindřich (advisor) ; Míšek, Jiří (referee)
This master thesis deals with synthesis of 6I -N-monosubstituted β-CD bearing a linear spacer of various lenghts containing disulfidic bond and terminated by amine. Whole series was succesfully prepared by nucleophilic substitution of toluenesulfonyl group on tosyl β-CD by a spacer's amine group. In case of the shortest spacer (cystamine) 35 % yield was achieved. Synthesis of β-CD derivatives using longer and more lipophilic spacer derived from di-, tri- and tetraethylenglycol yielded 66 to 85 %. The oligoethylene spacers were prepared by standard chemical modifications. A separation method using n-butanol elution mixtures was optimized for isolation of β-CD derivatives. To better understand the β-CD derivative behavior in solution, molecular dynamics (MD) computations were used. The synthetized species were intended to be used for fluorescent sensor construction. For the same reason the inclusion of small organic molecules in β-CD cavity was studied with molecular dynamic simulations. MD method for computation of relative binding energy was optimized and gave values of right sign and order of magnitude.

Study of inclusion complexes of pesticides with cucurbiturils
Smitka, Jaroslav ; Tesařová, Eva (advisor) ; Šteflová, Jana (referee)
In this work we report the formation of inclusion complexes of the pesticides 1-naphthylacetic acid, 1-naphthylacetamide, napropamide and carbaryl with cucurbit[n]uril (n=7 and 8) and -cyclodextrin hosts. We also report results of the photochemistry of these compounds when free in aqueous solution and included within these nano-containers. The formation of inclusion complexes was studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) which gave us information about stoichiometry of the complexes and about their reactivity in the gas phase. The photodecomposition and formation of products was followed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to both mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and UV/VIS detector, and spectrophotometry. The studied CBs and their host-guest complexes were readily detected in the gas phase by ESI-MS, mainly as single and double charged ions containing either H+ , Na+ or K+ . The assignments were made based on the m/z values of the observed signals and further confirmed by fragmentation (tandem mass spectrometry - MSn ). All pesticides formed 1:1 (host:guest) complexes. Carbaryl, napropamide and 1-naphthylacetamide also formed 1:2 (host:guest) complexes. Under some solution chemistry conditions, namely for concentrations of cucurbiturils above 50 µM and at low acid and...

Ionotropic glutamate receptors and excitotoxicity
Skřenková, Kristýna ; Vyklický, Ladislav (advisor) ; Moravec, Jan (referee)
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system and its excitatory role is mediated trough activation of glutamatergic ionotropic receptors which are responsible for synaptic transmission and play an important role in learning and memory formation. However, excessive exposure to glutamate can result in excitotoxicity which may lead to cell death. The following text is focused on one group of glutamate receptors - NMDA receptors. The study of the receptors is in the centre of current neurobiology research because there is a series of experimental and clinical evidences that they directly participate in the development of serious diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and may cause neuronal damage in trauma, hypoxia and embolia. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to give a brief overview of current knowledge about the structure and function of NMDA receptors and mechanisms of their activation which leads to excitotoxicity and related neuroprotection.

development of fluorosenzor based on chemically modified electroluminescence diods.
Blažková, Ivona ; Jelínek, Ivan (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
Luminescence sensors based on LED were prepared by modification of LED poly- carbonate surface and following binding of luminescence dyes on this surface. Two methods of modification were utilized. The first one was the oxidation of the surface yielding free carboxylic groups. Such modified LEDs were then covered by cationic cresyl violet dye. The second modification consisted of nitration and consequent reduction to free amino groups followed by binding of anionic sulforhodamine dye. The stability of emission and the stability of dye binding were studied. Then, the response of constructed sensors to toluene as analyte in gas and liquid phase was measured.

Synthesis of beta-cyclodextrin derivatives for medicinal applications
Popr, Martin ; Jindřich, Jindřich (advisor) ; Veselý, Jan (referee)
Synthesis of monosubstituted β-cyclodextrin derivatives for medicinal applications Abstract This thesis is focused on preparation of a set of β-cyclodextrin derivatives with potential use as scaffolds for a construction of novel MRI contrast agents. Firstly, the skeleton of native β-CD was selectively persubstituted at possitions 6 and equipped with azide functions. Per-6-azido-β-CD was then monosubstituted on secondary face of the macrocycle. (E)-cinnamylbromide and propargylbromide were chosen as suitable reagents. The monosubstitution reaction afforded two types of regioisomers, substituted at position 2I -O- or 3I -O-. These regioisomers were sucessfully separated via preparative column chromatography after peracetylation of all free hydroxyl groups. 2I -O-, 3I -O-formylmethyl- and 3I -O- karboxymethyl- analogues were prepared by oxidative transformation of cinnamyl group. Finally the usability of the formylmethyl- derivative for covalent binding with suitable substrate via reductive amination was confirmed. Keywords: cyclodextrins, monosubstitution, cinnamyl, propargyl, formylmethyl, carboxymethyl, reductive amination, MRI, contrast agents

Determination of stability constants of charged cyclodextrine complexes by capillary electrophoresis
Beneš, Martin ; Dubský, Pavel (referee) ; Zusková, Iva (advisor)
Martin Beneš Determination of stability constants of charged cyclodextrin comlexes by capillary electrophoresis Abstract Stability constant characterizes binding interaction between an analyte and complexation agent. These interactions play very important role in separation processes of, in other way undistinguishable, compounds, e.g. enantiomers. The most widely used complexation agents are cyclodextrins. Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) belongs to methods suitable for the determination of stability constants. The stability constant is determined from the dependence of the effective mobility of analyte on the increasing concentration of complexation agent in background electrolyte (BGE). If charged CDs are used, the attention must be paid not only to viscosity of the BGE and to the influence of Joule heating on the temperature in the capillary but also to the increasing ionic strength. The thermodynamic stability constants of R,R- and S,S-hydrobenzoin and R- and S-(3-brom- 2-methyl-1-propanol) with cationic modified β-cyclodextrin: 6-monodeoxy-6-mono(3- hydroxy)propylamino-β-cyclodextrin hydrochlorid (PABCD) were determined by affinity capillary electrophoresis. The average temperature (25řC) of the BGE in the capillary was kept constant. This was achieved by decreasing of the cassette temperature...

Synthesis of cyclodextrin derivatives for practical applications
Popr, Martin ; Jindřich, Jindřich (advisor) ; Kraus, Tomáš (referee) ; Šindelář, Vladimír (referee)
Synthesis of cyclodextrin derivatives for practical applications Abstract The first part of this PhD thesis is focused on the synthesis of a series of monosubstituted tetraalkylammonium cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives. The emphasis was placed on the possible applicability of the synthetic process to multigram or even industrial scale. Monotosylation of the native cyclodextrins (-, -, -) on the primary side of the macrocycle afforded the starting materials. Derivatives with one cationic group were prepared by the reaction with aqueous trimethylamine. The reaction of the mono-Ts-CD with neat N,N,N'-trimethylethane-1,2-diamine or N,N,N'-trimethylpropane-1,3-diamine and subsequent methylation led to derivatives with the substituent bearing two cationic groups (PEMEDA- and PEMPDA-β-CD). Analogs bearing a moiety with three tetraalkylammonium sites were synthesized by reaction of mono-Ts-CD with bis(3-aminopropyl)amine with subsequent methylation. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of mono-6- azido--CD with diaminoacetylenes followed by methylation led to analogs with a avariable distance of the charged substituent from the CD core. Majority of the presented reactions are straightforward, relatively high-yielding and the workup does not require chromatographic steps. The second part of the work is dealing with the...
