Biological activity of plant metabolites XXXIV. Alkaloids from the herb of Glaucium flavum CRANTZ and their impact on human cholinesterases
Puzyrevská, Jana ; Hošťálková, Anna (advisor) ; Cahlíková, Lucie (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology Candidate: Jana Puzyrevská Supervisor: PharmDr. Anna Hošťálková, Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Biological activity of plant metabolites XXXIV. Alkaloids from the herb of Glaucium flavum CRANTZ and their impact on human cholinesterases. Key words: Glaucium flavum Crantz, cataline, N-methyllaurotetanine, norchelidonine, protopine, AChE, BuChE. Alzheimer's disease, the most widespread neurodegenerative disease, causes decrease of cognitive functions and dementia. The most effective therapeutic approach is the application of central cholinesterase inhibitors, which alleviate cholinergic deficit in brain and thus improve memory. Currently, intensive investigation of new active compounds including natural substances is carried on. Within the preliminary testing, alkaloid extract from Glaucium flavum Crantz herb showed promising inhibition of human cholinesterases, so it was selected for further examination. The primary alkaloid extract was acquired from dried flowering herb by extraction with ethanol and subsequent liquid extraction at different pH. This extract was treated by preparative thin layer chromatography. The structure of alkaloids was determined by spectrometric methods (MS, NMR) and their optical...

Nejedly, J.: Nutraceuticals 5. Compounds usable as an adjuvant in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Kralove 2014, 102 p. This literature review, dealing with the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and possible use of nutraceutical products as an adjuvant in the therapy of the disease, has been done by analysis of foreign and domestic literature. In the chapter Alzheimer's disease, various pathological processes, leading to the development of the disease and also risk factors, clinical picture and a brief indications of currently used treatment, were introduced. The main part of thesis called Nutraceuticals has introduced a comprehensive overview and categorization of compounds (plant extracts) which can be used in influencing of Alzheimer's disease by the mechanism of action. In the chapter Nutraceuticals in Czech Republic, various product and suplements were listed, which are available on the market in Czech Republic and could be used as an adjuvant in the therapy of Alzheimer's disease. Finally, it was shown the evaluation (pros, cons, potential interaction) of substances and supplements, which have been state in the thesis, with a proposal for their...
