Assessment of chelation of cupric ions with flavones by use of hematoxylin method
Tamborová, Barbora ; Karlíčková, Jana (advisor) ; Sklenářová, Hana (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical botanic and ecology Candidate: Mgr. Barbora Tamborová Consultant: PharmDr. Jana Karlíčková, Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Assessment of chelation of cupric ions with flavones by use of hematoxylin method Copper is an essential trace element involved in many physiological processes. It is a part of several enzymes. Disruption of copper homeostasis results in pathological changes and diseases, excess of copper is highly toxic for human body. Flavonoids, the ubiquitous plant secondary metabolites, are highly abundant in the human diet. They represent a large group of polyphenolic compounds. They are characterized by a broad spectrum of biological activities. The anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, cytotoxic and anticancer effects of flavonoids are well documented. Flavones belong to the group of flavonoids, they have chelating and antioxidative properties. They are known for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antiallergic activity. This thesis deals with chelating activity of six selected flavones, substituted on the A ring, namely 5-hydroxyflavone, baicalein, baicalin, chrysin, mosloflavone and negletein. Individual analyses were preformed using...

Copper chelating activity of flavonols
Jeřábková, Markéta ; Karlíčková, Jana (advisor) ; Filipský, Tomáš (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradci Králové Department of Pharmaceutical botanic and ecology Candidate: Markéta Jeřábková Supervisor: PharmDr. Jana Karlíčková, Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Copper chelating activity of flavonols Copper belongs to essential trace elements. It is involved in different biological processses essential for life therefore metabolism disorders of copper can give rise to patological displays. A raised level of loose copper in serum at some diseases arouses a great interest in the "chelating" therapy and the study of new potential chelators. The importance of chelation is based on the maintenance of copper homeostasis and the elimination of its abundance. It serves the intoxication therapy of copper and other heavy metals and the treatment of Wilson's disease. Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant effects. Flavonoids able to chelate some metal ions through which they reduce the possibility of the production of a hydroxyl radical which decrease the effect of oxidative stress on organism. The possible use of the "chelating" therapy with flavonoids is investigated also at cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, the occurrence of cancer and the inflammation. This diploma thesis was focused on discovering chelating activity of flavonols:...
