Černotová, Veronika ; Mladěnka, Přemysl (advisor) ; Čečková, Martina (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Veronika Černotová Supervisor: prof. Přemysl Mladěnka, PharmD., Ph.D. Consultant: Lukáš Konečný, MSc. Title of diploma thesis: The influence of LDL-apheresis on aggregation of blood platelets, blood coagulation and the effect of standard drugs LDL-apheresis is a method that removes LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) from the blood. It is used to treat familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder causing high LDL-C levels and an early development of cardiovascular diseases. Blood platelets and coagulation system play an important role in these diseases and their activity is also affected by lipids. The aim of this thesis was to analyze possible differences in platelet aggregation and blood coagulation in patients suffering from FH. Two methods of treatment in this group were compared - lipid apheresis and PCSK9Ab (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 monoclonal antibodies). The observed parameters were also compared with age-matched healthy volunteers. Our cohort consisted of 15 patients and 15 healthy donors. Six patients were treated with lipid apheresis and also PCSK9Ab, six subjects only with PCSK9Ab. Platelet aggregation was measured with an impedance aggregometer using 7 different...

Comparison of platelet aggregation in healthy population.
Minarovičová, Júlia ; Mladěnka, Přemysl (advisor) ; Hofman, Jakub (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Júlia Minarovičová Supervisor: prof. Přemysl Mladěnka, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Comparison of platelet aggregation in healthy population Platelets have an irreplaceable role in the process of aggregation. Nevertheless, their increased activity is associated with the development of many cardiovascular diseases. This process can be influenced by clinical used substances from the group of antiplatelet drugs, which differ in their effectiveness within the population. Within this study, platelet aggregation was tested using impedance aggregometry, whose principle is the change in electrical impedance between electrodes caused by the adhesion of activated platelets. Firstly, whole blood was incubated with clinically used antiplatelet drugs (ticagrelor, vorapaxar, and acetylsalicylic acid) and a flavonoid metabolite, 4-methylcatechol. Subsequently, a platelet aggregation inducer (ADP, thrombin receptor activating peptide 6 /TRAP/, collagen, arachidonic acid, ristocetin, U-46619, and platelet-activating factor /PAF/) was added, and the process was monitored for 6 minutes. The most potent inhibitor of the aggregation induced by arachidonic acid was acetylsalicylic acid in a concentration of 70 μM...

Vliv technologie pěstování heřmánku pravého (Matricaria recutita L.) na kvalitu produktu a jeho využití
BOUCHALOVÁ, Kristýna
The aim of this thesis was to determine the influence of elicitors and growing technology on the product and its use. In the literary part, I dealt with botanical characteristics, agrotechnics, pharmacological effects, chemical composition of calves, methods of determination of active substances and others. In the practical part, I investigated the effect of elicitors on the content of active substances. Acetylsalicylic acid elicitor was used in three different concentrations, low [10-5 mol / l], medium [10-4 mol / l] and high [10-3 mol / l]. Finally, I made a statistical evaluation and compared the results of other publications.

The study of the electrochemical and chemical oxidative degradation of salicylic and acetylsalicylic acid
Tonnerová, Barbora ; Kubíčková, Anna (advisor) ; Křížek, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this Thesis was to study the degradation of salicylic acid by the electrochemical oxidation. The electrochemical oxidation of salicylic acid was compared to the electrochemical oxidation of acetylsalicylic acid. Two electrochemical cells were tested - batch cell and thin- layer flow-cell. The newly developed and validated method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography has been used to analyse the degradation products, salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. The optimal analysis was made by the Kinetex column C18 (2,1 x 100 mm; 1,7 µm) and mobile phase with two components - acetonitrile and water with addition of 0,1% formic acid. These two components of the mobile phase were mixed by the gradient program from 10 % to 60 % (v/v) acetonitrile. The mobile phase flow was set to 0,3 ml min-1 and the volume of injection was 2 µl. The detection was performed by photodiode array detector at the wavelength 240 nm. Total time of the analysis was 11 minutes. The electrochemical degradation has been studied by an anodic oxidation in a flow cell with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and a stainless-steel cathode. The samples of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid was dissolved in the ammonium acetate, concentration 200 mmol dm-3 at pH=4,0. The 20 % oxidation rate of salicylic acid was...

Analysis of sellected drugs with the use of TLC as a topic of laboratory courses
Menzel, Petr ; Kolář, Karel (advisor) ; Rusek, Martin (referee)
The paper aims to mediate thin film chromatography analysis by means of drugs commonly found in households (analgesic-antipyretics) to secondary school and grammar students, or to college students. For this purpose, laboratory tasks have been designed to cover all levels of the Bloom pyramid so that the educational potential is as high as possible. This is closely related to the topic of drug expiration and treatment. Pupils and students should take on both the competences of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Keywords: thin layer chromatography; TLC; chromatography in education; educational experiment; expiratory medication; drug handling; analgesic- antipyretics, acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol

Solid-state NMR study of structure and segmental dynamics of pharmaceutical materials based on the solid dispersions of drugs in polymer matrices.
Policianová, Olívia ; Brus, Jiří (advisor) ; Smrček, Stanislav (referee) ; Dračínský, Martin (referee)
Highly-exact structural characterization is the crucial step in the development and manufacturing process of pharmaceutical materials. Their structural composition is, however, often very complex and hardly identifiable. The eligible way for obtaining definite structural interpretation of these systems appears the high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy. For this purpose the reliable tool - the ssNMR toolbox for comprehensive characterization of various pharmaceutical solids is described. The rigorous optimization of ssNMR techniques is carried out on enormous number of measured samples containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with systems ranging from APIs formulated in solid dispersions to pure forms revealing extensive molecular disorder. In this study the influence of polymeric matrix on the creation of solid dispersion type susceptible for finely tuned controlled drug release is likewise discussed. The distinction between variable structural alignments of API molecules in 3D dimension of complicated pharmaceutical solids is allowed via simple strategy - factor analysis applied to hardly describable ssNMR spectra (13 C CP/MAS NMR and 19 F MAS NMR). The results of this ssNMR investigation contribute to better understanding of solid dispersion...

Návrh technologie pěstování kotvičníku zemního (Tribulus terrestris L.) a jeho využití
BARTOŠ, Pavel
Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris L.) is an annual plant of the Zygophyllaceae family. Its medicinal properties have long been used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine to treat various diseases. It has been shown that active substances, among which we count steroid saponins, glycosides, flavonoids, phytosterols and alkaloids, have effects on reproduction, effects aphrodisiac, antibacterial, anti-carcinogenic, anti-oxidant, diuretic, antidiabetic, cardiovascular and many other. The aim of this work was to verify the effect of elicitors on the content of selected active ingredients in Puncturevine. The elicitor in this work was acetylsalicylic acid of three different concentrations (10-3 mol.l-1, 10-4 mol.l-1, 10-5 mol.l-1) applied by spraying. Using high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were in fruits and stems determined the content of diosgenin, protodioscin, ruscogenin. For all three compounds was observed positive effect of the elicitor on their content.
