Faschingbauer J.: Cytotoxic and cholinesterase inhibitory activity of extracts from selected species of the Centaurea L. genus. Diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany, Hradec Králové, 2019. During the screening of biologically active secondary metabolites of plants carried out at the Department of Pharmaceutical Botany FAF UK, selected taxa of the genus Centaurea (Asteraceae) were investigated. This study is focused on a basic phytohemical research of extracts prepared from Centaurea cyanus, Centaurea jacea, Centaurea scabiosa, Centaurea pseudophrygia, Centuarea stoebe, Centaurea solstitialis a Centaurea benedicta. Extracts were prepared for evidence of the proof reactions of TLC and MS analysis (EI, ESI) to clarify a potential presence of alkaloids. EtOAc and ethanol extracts were evaluated for potential inhibitory activity against human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and cytotoxicity against selected 9 tumor lines. C. cyanus alkaloid extract had interesting cholinesterase activity which selectively inhibited BChE (IC50 BChE = 22.62 ± 3.62 μg / ml, IC50 AChE = 221.50 ± 44.56 g / ml). Other EtOAc extracts of selected Centaurea species were considered inactive (IC50 > 100 μg/ml)....

Miklová V.: Cytotoxic and cholinesterase inhibitory activity of extracts from selected species of the Centaurea L. genus II. Diploma thesis, Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany, Hradec Králové, 2020. This Diploma Thesis was carried out at the Department of Pharmaceutical Botany FAF UK and it is a part of a screening of biologically active secondary metabolites of selected on taxa of the genera Centaurea L. and Psephellus L. in the family Asteraceae. Secondary metabolites are responsible for various effects on the human body. The study is focused on the phytochemical research of extracts prepared from aerial parts (cauloms with leaves) of Centaurea cyanus L., Centaurea stoebe L., Cyanus montanus (L.) Hill, Centaurea benedicta L., Centaurea jacea L., Centaurea macrocephala Muss. Puschk. ex. Willd, Centaurea solstitialis L., Centaurea nigra L., Centaurea scabiosa L., Psephellus bellus (Trautv.) Wagenitz, Centaurea pannonica (Heuff.) Hayek and Psephellus dealbatus (Willd) K. Koch. Both ethyl acetate and summary ethanolic extracts were prepared for detection of individual groups of secondary metabolites by thin-layer chromatohraphy. Consistently with previously published results, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, coumarins, phenolic compounds,...
