Rosehip – the source of natural compounds
Motúzová, Eliška ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor thesis was to study the antimicrobial activity of various extracts of rosehip tea. As well as to determinate concentration of biologically active compounds, polyfenols and flavonoids, and antioxidant activity in these teas. Teoretical part describes basic information about Rosa canina, general classification of tea, summary of biologically active compounds and basic methods of extraction. Practical part is focused on determination of anioxidant acivity, comcentration of polyfenols and flavonoids in tea extracts and detection of animicrobial activity of these extracts against bacterial strains Serratia marcescens and Micrococcus luteus. The results of this theasis show that aqueous extracts of rosehips tea are animicrobialy active. It was also found, that these extracts have hight contents of polyphenols and flavonoids.

Development of Novel Electrochemical Methods Using Various Membrane Materials for Monitoring of Selected Anticancer Drugs and Phytochelatins
Skalová, Štěpánka ; Barek, Jiří (advisor) ; Labuda, Ján (referee) ; Trnková, Libuše (referee)
Present Ph.D. Thesis is focused on the development of electrochemical methods for determination of anticancer drugs using various types of membranes for their preliminary separation. Furthermore, this Thesis reports the study of transport mechanisms of heavy metals in the presence of phytochelatins across biological membranes. Sodium anthraquinone-2-sulphonate (AQS) was used as a model compound for its similar structure with anthraquinone-based (AQ-based) anticancer drugs (doxo/daunorubicin) and also due to its better availability. All these compounds can be easily electrochemically oxidized and/or reduced. Redox behaviour of AQS was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in a cathodic region on mercury meniscus modified (m-AgSAE) and polished silver solid amalgam (p-AgSAE) electrodes, Obtained results were used for the development of a micro-volume voltammetric cell (MVVC). Its applicability for voltammetric determination of anticancer drugs was verified by using doxorubicin (DX) as a model substance. The second part of this Thesis deals with therapeutic monitoring of anticancer drugs in the blood circulation of the patients. For pilot experiments, a liquid-flow system with dialysis catheter and amperometric detection was used. The flow rate of carrier...
