Biological activity of Peganum harmala L. alkaloids and their semi-synthetic derivatives II.
Fejtková, Martina ; Chlebek, Jakub (advisor) ; Cahlíková, Lucie (referee)
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...

1 ABSTRACT Víchová Barbora: Biological activity of Peganum harmala L. alkaloids and their semi-synthetic derivatives I. Diploma thesis 2022. Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Botany β-Carboline alkaloids are natural substances with potential use in tumor therapy. In particular harmine, which acts cytotoxically by several mechanisms. The aim of the diploma thesis was to prepare N9-derivatives of harmine derivatives, to clarify their structure based on common spectrometric and spectroscopic methods (ESI, ESI-MS, NMR) and subsequently to study their biological activity (cytotoxicity, AChE, BchE and GSk-3beta inhibition). These tests resulted in several active derivatives, suitable candidates for further study. 9-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)harmine (HMA-22) was significantly cytotoxic to the Jurkat cell line (16% cell viability after 48 hours, compared to the control, with better cytotoxicity than the standard doxorubicin at a concentration of 1 μM). Another very active derivative was found 9-N-(5-bromopentyl)harmine (HMA-30), which was more cytotoxic to most tested cell lines than doxorubicin (1 μM), similarly as most of other derivatives. HMA-30 was also found as a potent BChE inhibitor (IC 50 4.06 ± 0.48 μM). 9-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)harmine (HMA-20)...
