Possibility of determination of selected flavonoides
Smělá, Margita ; Vitoulová, Eva (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
The theoretic part of the bachelor‘s thesis deals with description of selected flavonoids as apigenin, quercetin, luteolin, keampferol, rutin, myricetin and with options of their determinations. There were described typical properities and effects of several flavonoids at first. In the next part there are principles of methods, especially high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. The biggest attention was made to literary survey of determination flavonoids coumpounds mentioned above, by high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electroproresis. There were described the collection of plant material for extraction of flavonids in the practical part. The white and blue grapes were frozen by dry ice as soon as they were separated from a busch. Grapes were made in a nitrogenous atmosphere and lyophilizated after the frozen.

Interaction of gut microbiota with selected flavonoids
Balatka, Štěpán ; Hodek, Petr (advisor) ; Koblihová, Jitka (referee)
The microflora located on the surface of and inside the human body is a very large system. The intestinal microflora of the gastrointestinal tract is a very important and still not fully explored area. The intestinal microflora consists of many types of bacteria, viruses, fungi or some single-cell eukaryotic heterotrophic organisms. The intestinal microflora is involved, for example, in the synthesis of vitamins, digestion of polysacharides or in the storing of fats. It is significantly involved in the metabolism of foreign substances and digestion of food. The activity of foreign substances can influence the composition of the intestinal microflora. It must not be forgotten that the composition of the intestinal microflora differs in separate individuals and is changeable during life. The metabolism of foreign substances in relation to the human organism is a subject of global studies. This work is devoted to the metabolism of myricetin and its influence on the digestive tract of a healthy individual and a person with celiac disease. It is also studied whether myricetin affects the biodiversity of intestinal bacteria. The collected stool samples from donor A (a person with celiac disease) and B (a healthy control) were incubated at 0, 3 and 6 hours in McDougall buffer with myricetin. They were...

Interaction of selected flavonoids with N-acetyltransferases
Veselá, Šárka ; Hodek, Petr (advisor) ; Bořek Dohalská, Lucie (referee)
Flavonoids are natural compounds synthesized in plants as secondary metabolites. Due to broad range of their biological effects, for example we can mention antioxidant, hepatoprotective or antibacterial effects, flavonoids are increasingly used as a component in dietary supplements. Besides positive effects, some negative effects were observed, especially mutagenic and pro-oxidative properities. The biotransformation is an important process which is affected by flavonoids. Interactions between flavonoids and biotransformation enzymes in both phases of biotransformation are essential for the metabolism of drugs and carcinogenesis processes. In this bachelor thesis the influence of selected flavonoid compounds, myricetin and dihydromyricetin, on the activity of N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2, enzymes of second phase of biotransformation, was studied. Mainly the mechanism of this influence was tested. The inhibition of human recombinant and of N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2 by myricetin and dihydromyricetin was proved. The more in-depth study of interactions of N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2 with selected flavonoids shows that raising concentration of second substrate (p-aminobenzoic acid, sulfamethazine) does not lead to reduction of inhibition effect. Thus, it is highly probable that both flavonoids already...

Content of selected phenolic compounds in spice plants.
BERANOVÁ, Zuzana
This work concerns the amount of certain phenols in some of the representatives of families Alliaceae, Lamiaceae and Apiaceae. Phenols in plants are widely represented and highly concentrated. Flavonoids are one of the smallest, yet quite significant classes of phenols. Ingestion of food containing flavonoids can prevent certain diseases such as Arteriosclerosis. cardiovascular and tumor diseases. This work focuses, for their special biological effects, on five flavonoids: Kaempferol, Quercetin, Myricetin, Apigenin and Luteolin. For determining the content of phenols a method of High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used. Three representative of the family Alliaceae, two representatives of the family Lamiaceae and three representatives of the family Apiaceae were analysed. Only edible parts of the plants were used for the analysis and the amount of phenols was compared in certain plants planted in beddings to the plants planted in greenhouses. At first, the qualitative representantion of phenols was ascertained by the HPLC method. The result is chromatographic profiles, which were then used in calculating the amount of particular phenols. Then the total amounts of kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, apigenin and luteolin were found out thanks to HPLC method. The biggest amount of total kaempferol was determined in petroselium hortense planted in beddings (588 mg/kg of fresh sample) and in a greenhouse (340 mg/kg of fresh sample). The biggest amount of quercetin was determined in red onion planted in a greenhouse (773 mg/kg of fresh sample) and in ocimum basilicum planted in beddings (535 mg/kg of fresh sample). The biggest amount of apigenin was determined in petroselium hortense planted in a greenhouse (1790 mg/kg of fresh sample) and in petroselium chrispum planted in beddings (3690 mg/kg of fresh sample).
