I; Diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové, 2017, 64 p. The Amaryllidaceae family includes bulbous, beautifully flowering plants that have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine. The major chemical compounds found in this particular plant family are alkaloids, namely Amaryllidaceae alkaloids. Until now, more than 500 isoquinoline alkaloids have been discovered, which exhibit a diverse biological activity including antitumor and antibacterial. They are also able to inhibit acetylcholinesterase. The aim of the diploma thesis was to process 34 kg of fresh bulbs of Narcissus cv. PROFESSOR EINSTEIN and to prepare an alkaloidal extract. This extract was further divided by column chromatography to almost 500 fractions which were merged based on TLC into 27 subfractions. The subfractione No. 17 was selected for isolation of at least one pure alkaloid. Preparative TLC was used for the the isolation. One pure compound was obtained in crystalic form which was then subjected to structural analysis by EI-MS and NMR methods. Further studies of biological activities were performed in...

Čakurdová, M.: Alkaloids of Papaver rhoeas L. (Papaveraceae) and their biological activity related to Alzheimer's disease II. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové, 2017. The aim of this work was focused on isolation of alkaloids from the fraction 1 (joined fractions 20-27), which was obtained from the summary alkaloid extract of Papaver rhoeas L. (Papaveraceae). The alkaloids were identified by structural analysis NMR, GC-MS, optical activity and melting point. Two alkaloids were identified as (-)-stylopine and (+)-rhoeadine. Isolated substances were tested on ability to inhibit the enzymes acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and prolyloligopeptidase. Obtained data were expressed as IC50 values: (-)-stylopine (IC50 AChE = 522 ± 67 µM, IC50 BuChE = >1000 µM, IC50 POP = >790 µM); (+)-rhoeadine (IC50 AChE = 915 ± 64 µM, IC50 BuChE = >1000 µM, IC50 POP = >790 µM). None of the isolated substances showed so potent cholinesterase inhibitory activity as the alkaloids galanthamine (IC50 AChE = 1.71± 0.065 µM, IC50 BuChE =42.30 ± 1.30 µM) and huperzine A (IC50 AChE = 0.033 ± 0.001 µM, IC50 BuChE = >1000 µM) or rivastigmine (IC50 AChE = 0.037 ± 0.001 µM, IC50 BuChE = 3.3 ± 0.3 nM)....

Alkaloids of Narcissus 'Dutch Master '(Amaryllidaceae) and their biological activity. I.
Vacková, Lucie ; Chlebek, Jakub (advisor) ; Hošťálková, Anna (referee)
Vacková, L.: Alkaloids Narcissus 'Dutch Master' (Amaryllidaceae) and their biological activity. I. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové 2016. From a selected fraction ND-6, which was obtained by column chromatography of an alkaloid extract of Narcissus 'Dutch Master' (preparation of the alkaloid extract and column chromatography was performed by Mgr. Daniela Hulcová within her doctoral thesis), lycorine alakloid O-acetylpluviin was isolated using preparative TLC. Its structure was determined on the basis of MS, NMR analysis, and optical rotation, the obtained data were compared with the literature. The isolated alkaloid was tested on its possibility to inhibit human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. The activity was expressed as IC 50 values (IC50 AChE = 648.03 ± 53.95 μM, IC50 BChE = 602.50 ± 48.50 μM) and compared with IC50 values of galanthamine, huperzine A and physostigmine. O-acetylpluviine showed a very low inhibitory cholinesterase activity, and so, the alkaloid does not seem to be a suitable cholinesterase inhibitor for potential use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Keywords: Narcissus 'Dutch Master', Amaryllidaceae, lycorine alkaloids, Alzheimer's disease,...
