Pěstování léčivých rostlin z čeledi Asteraceae
Synková, Lucie
This bachelor thesis is focused on the topic Growing medical plants from Asteraceae family. Medical plants have been used in ancient times. Recently, their popularity is increasing. Asteraceae is one of the largest family of higher plants. Plants from this family are used not only in pharmacy, but also in cosmetic industry and food industry or in the process of liqueur making. In this thesis is described characterization of Asteraceae family, as well as characterization of medical, aromatic and spice crops. Furthermore, various active ingredients contained in medical plants and their effect on the human organism and general rules for growing medical plants are described. Next chapter describes growing of selected species from Asteraceae family, substances contained in medical plants from this family and posibilities of their utilization. Emphasis was put on growing chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) and marigold (Calendula officinalis L.).

Analysis of historical pharmaceutical preparation containing chicory from the 18th century
Lener, Tomáš ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Anna (referee)
A historical pharmaceutical preparation - chicory extract - from the 18th century whose authenticity was investigated was qualitatively analyzed using HPLC with UV/VIS and MS2 detection. A current dry chicory root was used as a source of selected chicory chemotaxonomic markers and an indicator of the success of extraction with different solvents. The authenticity of the historical extract was proved by a water solubility test. A VIS spectrometric determination of inulin was used and the inuline content was determined to be 52.4% in the current dry chicory root and 7.45% in the historical extract. The detection wavelength 254 and 320 nm was selected from measured UV/VIS spectra of selected standards and the literature. The authenticity of the historical chicory extract was proven by tandem mass spectrometry, and, moreover, arteincultone - a new chicory chemotaxonomic marker - was identified. Key words: HPLC-MS, HPLC-UV/VIS, UV/VIS Spectrometry, Chicory, Historical extract, Chicory root, Arteincultone
