Properties of aminoclay complexes and biologically active substances
Dušek, Jakub ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Mravec, Filip (advisor)
This paper builds on previous research of aminoclay complexes in undergraduate studies. Theoretical part deals with study of current problems of aminoclay complexes with bioactive substances and the choice of substances for complexing with aminoclay. The experimental part consists of preparation of aminoclay complexes with selected bioactive agents at various concentrations. Verification of binding of bioactive agents to the aminoclay matrix was performed by Elemental Analysis (EA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). For finding of the bound amount of bioactive substance were used the Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC®) and analysis of the cytotoxic properties of the formed complexes by used by the MTT assay. The main motivation of this study is to create new complexes with improved characteristics that would replace existing forms of substances used in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Expression and funkction of placental drug transpoters in health and disease
Umanová, Barbora ; Čečková, Martina (advisor) ; Jirkovský, Eduard (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Student: Barbora Umanová Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. Martina Čečková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Expression and function of placental drug transporters in health and disease There are many physiological changes during pregnancy. Placenta is a crucial organ which mediates exchange of nutrients, metabolites and respiratory gases, provides endocrine functions and fetal protection. A pregnant woman and her fetus may be exposed to various potentially harmful substances during pregnancy, including drugs that may endanger fetal health. Protection of the fetus from xenobiotics is enabled by drug transporters. Drug transporters are membrane proteins expressed in most tissues of the human body. In the placenta, they are localized in the placental syncytiotrophoblast and occur also in the endothelial cells of the fetal vessels. They belong into two large superfamilies of transporter proteins: ATB-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC). While ABC transporters mediate exclusively efflux of their substrates, SLC are predominantly influx transporters. Therefore, these transport proteins play a key role in the disposition of drugs, some of which facilitate drugs entry into a fetus, and others actively...

Derivatives of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid haemanthamine as potential drugs
Homolková, Ludmila ; Cahlíková, Lucie (advisor) ; Kuneš, Jiří (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany Candidate: Ludmila Homolková Supervisor: doc. Ing. Lucie Cahlíková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Derivatives of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid haemanthamine as potential drugs Modern research has shown that Amaryllidaceae alkaloids represent a rich reservoir of potential small molecules exhibiting several medicinal properties through various mechanisms. Among the many Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, galanthamine has been given a great amount of attention due the fact that it possesses potent acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity, and is distributed worldwide for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. One of the interesting compounds is haemanthamine, β-crinine-type of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, which displays significant in vitro cytotoxic activity against several different types of cancer cell lines. The object of this diploma thesis was to prepare several derivatives of alkaloid haemanthamine, and try to find relationship between structure and biological effect. The present work deals with the preparation of haemanthamine derivatives, and their biological activity connected to the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Twelve aromatic ester of haemanthamine derivatives were prepared. The chemical structures...

Physico-Chemical Properties of Drugs
Tomanová, Pavla ; Kubíček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Nováková, Veronika (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of biophysics and physical chemistry Author: Pavla Tomanová Supervisor: Ing. Vladimír Kubíček, CSc. Thesis title: Physico-Chemical properties of drugs This thesis deals with measuring dissociation constants (the pKa value) and the lipophilicity of nitrogenous heterocycle derivatives produced at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové. Two methods were used to determine the pK value: potentiometric titration and spectrophotometry. Potentiometric titration almost invariably produced relatively exact results, however the results of pK value obtained by spectrophotometry were sometimes difficult to replicate. Dissociation constants were compared on the basis of the method applied, and also with the theoretically determined dissociation constant calculated by means of the ChemDraw Ultra 12.0 software. The results obtained by the two experimental methods turned out to be very similar, corresponding to the theoretical pK value. Lipophilicity is another essential property of drugs tested in the preclinical stage. It specifies the aqueous or lipophilic phase affinity of a drug, substantially affecting the drug's ADMET in organism. Lipophilicity was determined on the basis of capacity factor value identified by RP-HPLC measurement using...

HPLC Analysis of Drugs
Kouřil, Tomáš ; Kubíček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Drastík, Martin (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biophysics and Physical Chemistry Candidate: Tomas Kouril Consultant: Ing. Vladimir Kubicek, CSc. Title of Thesis: HPLC analysis of Drugs The diploma thesis describes selection of the most suitable conditions for determination of a two enantiomers of drugs betaxolol and bisoprolol with a method HPLC. The aim of the thesis was to find a suitable isocratic method for the substances for extraction from plasma. The chromatographic column Daicel Chiralcel ® OD-R 4,6 mm x 250 m was utilized. The best results were achieved with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and aqueous solution of sodium perchlorate (1 molar) in volume ratio 50:50 for betaxolol and 35:65 for bisoprolol. The column was thermostated at 25 řC. UV detection (λ = 190 nm) was applied to get a sufficient sensitivity. Tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol was tested as an internal standard. Biological samples were tested by LLE before the HPLC analyses. Furthermore, the LLE method for biological samples was tested before performing HPLC.
