Ludvik M., Papaver rhoeas L. (Papaveraceae) alkaloids and their activity related to Alzheimer disease VI., diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové 2023, number of pages 69. This diploma thesis was focused on alkaloids from combined fractions 13-15 of diethylether extract from Papaver rhoeas L. The methods used for extraction of the alcaloids include flash chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography. The structures of isolated compounds were determined by using mass spectrometric and spectrophotometric methods (GC-MS, NMR and optical rotation). Alkaloids were identified as galanthamine and N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Subsequently, N,N-dimethyltryptamine was tested for its biological activity against human cholinesterases, specifically acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. Galanthamine was not tested on ability to inhibit cholinesterase, since the compound has been already tested on this activity at the Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Botany. N,N-dimethyltryptamine showed mild inhibitory activity against butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 = 44,14 ± 1,76) and no activity against acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = >100). Despite its mild activity towards butyrylcholinesterase, N,N-dimethyltryptamine can't be used in therapy of Alzheimer's disease,...

(Papaveraceae) and their biological activity related to Alzheimerʼs diesease V.; Diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmacognozy and Pharmaceutical Botany, Hradec Králové 2023, pages 72. The aim of this diploma thesis was focused on isolation of alkaloids from a combined fraction 7-8 of an alkaloidal diethyl ether (Et2O) extract of aerial parts of Papaver rhoeas L. (Papaveraceae). Column chromatography (flash chromatography), planar chromatography (preparative TLC) and crystallization were used for the isolation of alkaloids. The structures of isolated substances were elucidated using NMR, GC-MS methods and optical rotation. Isolated alkaloids were identified as ZD-1, (+)-3,4-dehydrotheaspirone, (±)-juziphine, (+)-lirinidine and protopine. Alkaloids were tested for biological activity against enzymes (acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcolinesterase and prolyl oligopeptidase). (+)-3,4-Dehydrotheaspirone, (±)-juziphine, and protopine did not show significant inhibitory activities against cholinesterases (IC50 values >100 µM). Protopine was also inactive against prolyl oligopeptidase (IC50 >1000 µM ). (+)-Lirinidine showed a moderate inhibitory activity against BuChE (IC50 value of 23,45 ± 0,55 µM), towards...

Valová D.: Vinca minor L. alkaloids and their biological activity III. Diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany, Hradec Králové, 2020, 75 p. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder and it's the most common form of dementia. Because we're still not able to treat the cause of disease, searching for a new substance is relevant. This thesis is focused on isolation of alkaloids from a Vinca minor L. alkaloidal extract as a potential drug. The preparation and column chromatography of the summary extract were performed by Ing. Miroslav Ločárek as a part of his doctoral studies. Subsequent preparative TLC led to the isolation of three compounds. The chemical structures of the isolated alkaloids were elucidated by means of optical rotation, NMR and MS analyses and by comparison of the obtained data with those in the literature. One of the compounds was determined as(-)-vincine, other two compounds have not been isolated yet. Isolated compounds were also tested for their biological activity. Vincine, DV-1 a DV-3 were tested for their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). Additionally, vincine and DV-3 were also tested for their inhibitory activity on prolyl...

Drabbová, A.: Title of Diploma Thesis: Centaurea cyanus L. (Asteraceae) alkaloids and their biological activity related to Alzheimer's disease. Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany, Hradec Králové 2020. Ethyl acetate and chloroform alkaloids extracts were prepared from Centaurea cyanus L. seeds. A novel alkaloid AD-1 (Adrabbin) was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract by common chromatografic methods (column chromatography, preparative TLC). Its structure was elucidated by mass spektrometry, NMR analysis and determination of optical rotation. The alkaloid AD-1 (Adrabbin) possesses a unique structure which consists of a cyclic indole moiety. Also LC-MS analysis of fractions obtained by flash chromatography was performed. In those fractions were detected molecular ions related to compounds previously isolated from other Centaurea species. Alkaloid AD-1 (Adrabbin) was tested on ability to inhibit human cholinesterases, prolyl oligopeptidase and gylcogen synthase kinase 3β. The compound was considered against human cholinesterases inactive (IC50 values > 100 µM). Interestibgly, the alkaloid inhibited prolyl oligopeptidase the same intensity as a standard berberine (AD-1: IC50 143,0 ± 6,0 µM; berberin: IC50 142,0 ± 21,0 µM). The novel compound...

Fejtková Martina: Biological activity of Peganum harmala L. alkaloids and their semi-synthetic derivatives II. Diploma thesis 2022. Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmacognosy und Pharmaceutical botany. This diploma thesis deals with the preparation of semi-synthetic derivatives of the alkaloid harmine and the study of their biological activity. The alkaloid harmine was isolated by preparative TLC from an alkaloid extract, exactly from its subfraction PH-F1. Semi-synthetic derivatives were prepared by incorporation of different substituents in the N9 position of harmine. For the purposes of this diploma thesis were prepared 17 derivatives, which were subsequently identified on the basis of LC-MS, ESI-HRMS and NMR analysis. After structural elucidation of prepared derivatives, their biological activity was studied. The prepared substances were tested for their inhibitory effect on human acetylcholinesterase (AChE), human butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), glykogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) and their cytotoxic activity was also measured on selected tumor and leukemia lines and one healthy cell line. Some of the prepared derivatives showed interesting selective inhibitory potencial against human BuChE, the most active derivative was...

Gergely, E.: Alkaloids of Papaver rhoeas L. (Papaveraceae) and their biological activity related to Alzheimerʼs disease IV. Diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Botany, Hradec Králové 2022, 61 pages. A chloroform alkaloid extract of aerial parts of Papaver rhoeas L. (Papaveraceae) showed a significant inhibitory activity on human butyrylcholinesterase (IC50hBuChE = 3,94 ± 0,35 µg/ml) [1,2]. hBuChE represents a key enzyme playing an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The main aim of this study was to isolate pure alkaloids by bio-guided assay using flash chromatography and preparative TLC, elucidate their structures (MS, NMR, and optical rotation) and cholinesterase inhibitory activity with Ellman's spectrophotometric method. Prediction of possibility of the molecules' crossing through blood-brain barrier (BBB) via logBB was calculated. Potential non-cytotoxicity of the most active compound was screened on selected nine cancer cell lines and one non-cancer cell line MRC-5. The identified isolated alkaloid (+)-caaverine showed a promising and selective hBuChE inibition (IC50hBuChE = 4,09 ± 0,50 µM and IC50hAChE > 100 µM, respectively) and should be able to cross the BBB (logBB = 0,372) by...
