Chosen Analogues Derived from Substance 7-MEOTA Action on Some Aspects of Cholinergic System
Sedláček, Lukáš ; Říčný, Jan (advisor) ; Hejnová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis deals with effects of some chosen 7-methoxitacrine (7 MEOTA) analogues on enzymatic activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). 7-MEOTA is a derivative of tacrine, which had been used for symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), until drugs with better therapeutic index were developed. 7-MEOTA the same way as tacrine therapeutically acts by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase and a neurotransmitter acetylcholine rise in the organism. It shows similar strength and type of inhibition, but it's less toxic contrary to tacrine. Some of the previously examined analogues of 7-MEOTA were as strong or even stronger AChE inhibitors than 7-MEOTA and so promising future medicaments. However, all the compounds analyzed in this thesis showed weaker enzymatic reaction inhibition and AChE affinity. For each of the examined compounds IC50, Ki and Ki' were calculated and AChE inhibition type was determined. All the 7 MEOTA analogues showed a mixed type of the inhibition. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with manifestations and origins of AD, its genetic factors etc. and tries to show some of the anthropological findings a theories connected with the theme.

The bachelor thesis deals with the possibility to use elements of palliative care in elderly citizens with dementia in conditions of social services. It describes issues of ageing and changes connected with this period of human life. Mainly it deals with dementia and its impacts on a senior´s life. It also presents the approach of palliative care aiming for the quality of life in the final stage of life. The work examines the possibility of accompanying seniors with dementia through the use of elements of palliative care in residential care facilities. It points out that it is suitable to employ these elements in care of the elderly with dementia despite the fact that these facilities do not provide optimal conditions for introduction of palliative care. The possibility of choosing and employing of palliative care elements in elderly citizens with dementia is illustrated with the service of the Special Needs Nursing Home in Břevnice. The practice of the above mentioned facility is compared with selected aspects of the Palliative Care Standards published by The Czech Association of palliative care.
