Analysis of composition of residues of inorganic pharmaceuticals from the 18th century
Janoušková, Eva ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Kozlík, Petr (referee)
In this bachelor thesis, sixteen samples of inorganic pharmaceuticals from the 18th century were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, atomic emission spectrometry, UV/VIS spectrometry, capillary zone electrophoresis, titrations, and gravimetric analysis. The analysis confirmed that the composition of fourteen of the analyzed samples corresponded with their respective Latin inscriptions on the apothecary jars, while two of the samples proved to be a completely different substance. All samples, except for one, contained a relatively high number of impurities. These impurities helped determine if the source of the sample was a mineral commonly occurring in nature or a chemical reaction. Keywords: History of pharmacy, ICP-MS, F-AAS, F-AES, UV/VIS spectrometry, historical pharmaceuticals

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
