Author: Petra Nekolná Title: Alkaloids of family Amaryllidaceae: genus Lycoris Diploma thesis Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology 2015, 79 p. The aim of this diploma thesis was to summarize the findings about alkaloids which were isolated from Lycoris plants of Amaryllidaceae family. It contains a botanical characteristics of species of genus Lycoris which were studied phytochemically, a file of alkaloids which were isolated from these plants and findings about the biological activity of these compounds. Within the genus Lycoris 11 species were studied phytochemically and 118 alkaloids were isolated from these plants. Alkaloids which were isolated from Lycoris plants are divided in several structural groups. The lycorine-, homolycorine-, crinine-, galanthamine- and pancratistatine-type alkaloids occur the most numerously. Anticancer, acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory and antimalarial activity of the alkaloids were described. The biological activity of alkaloids is connected with their structure. The most significant anticancer activity was observed in alkaloids from lycorine-, crinine- and pancratistatine-type. Acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory activity was pronounced the most in galanthamine-type alkaloids. The most...
