Preparation of nanoparticles and nanofibers for application in anti-acne products
Tilšarová, Kamila ; Veselá, Mária (referee) ; Skoumalová, Petra (advisor)
The diploma thesis was focused on the preparation and characterization of nanoparticles and nanofibres with active substances from chosen herbs with the aim to apply this materials to the products against acne. Various types of extracts were tested on the content of polyphenols, flavonoids and antioxidation activity. These extracts were encapsulated to the liposomes and fibres of polyhydroxybutyrate. Prepared liposomes and fibres were tested mainly on antioxidation activity and antimicrobial activity against the strain Propionibacterium acnes. Then, liposomes were applied to cosmetic emulsions. These creams reported high antioxidation activity and excellent stability determined by analytical centrifugation. Prepared nanofibres also reported high antioxidation activity and antimicrobial effect as well. Finally, particles and fibres were tested in contact with human cells. In appropriate concentration, there was no cytotoxic effect and tested materials can be used in applications on problems with acne.

Use of genotoxicity tests to characterization of some natural substances and particles
Tilšarová, Kamila ; Bokrová, Jitka (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
In production of drugs, cosmetics, in food industry and other biotechnologies, testing of genotoxicity (that are changes in genetic information which are not inhereted) is one of the common steps in the process before distribution to the market. This bachelor´s thesis is focused on the characterization of extracts from chosen natural substances with respect to the content of polyfenols, flavonoides and antioxidant activity. These extracts were encapsulated into liposomes and chitosan particles. The aim was testing possible genotoxicity of whole extracts and particles on possible genotoxicity on the basis of SOS Chromotest performed on bacteria E. coli. This genotoxic assay did not show genotoxic effect of neither pure extracts nor tested liposomes.
