Truhlář, Jan ; Zbořil, František (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
Aim of this work is to design and create a software tool, which will allow visual specification of laboratory experiments flow on device called GOLEM. This device was created by research group from Department of Chemical Drugs, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno. This software was based on modern web technologies, tools for their design and implementation. The software created in this work offers ergonomic and the highly modular user interface which can be easily extended in case of upgrade. Main benefit of this work is providing research group with a new software tool which will help them perform experiments more effectively.

Study of the effect of biomolecules on the solubility of poorly soluble drugs
Kheirabadi, Fatemeh ; Holas, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vraníková, Barbora (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Supervisor: Dr. Ondrej Holas, Ph.D. Consultant: prof. Anette Müllertz, Ph.D. Student: Fatemeh Kheirabadi Title of thesis: Effects of Proteins on Apparent Drug solubility in Fasted State Stimulated Colonic Fluids This thesis investigates the influence of proteins on the apparent solubility of drugs in fasted state stimulated colonic fluids. The investigation was conducted on a selection of compounds with varying physicochemical and plasma protein binding properties. Precisely, three different compounds named as Nilotinib, Carvedilol and Ritonavir were analyzed for their apparent solubility in three distinct protein sources: bovine serum albumin, mucin from dehydrated porcine gastric mucin type II, and collected porcine intestinal mucus. Accurate reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was developed and employed as the analytical method to determine the concentration of the apparent drug solubility of the investigated compounds. The research on the solubility of poorly soluble compounds in simulated colonic fluids has been restricted. Additionally, factors such as the impact of proteins remains unexplored in biorelevant media, which could be critical for enhancing our understanding of drug...

Study of excipients' influence on the drug dissolution from tablets
Ouzký, Miroslav ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Mužíková, Jitka (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical Technology Supervisor: Consultants: Assoc. Prof. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Mgr. Jana Brokešová, Mgr. Daniel Pěček Student: Miroslav Ouzký Title of Thesis: Study of excipientsʼ influence on the drug dissolution from tablets The aim of this work was to study the influence of excipients on the dissolution of the high-dose active substance from tablets. The tablets were compressed from the granules prepared by wet-granulation method. 11 batches of tablets which contained two different fillers: either lactose or microcrystalline cellulose, respectively; and extragranularly added disintegrant: either croscarmellose or crospovidone, respectively, in three concentration levels of 2 %, 3,7 % or 5,4 % were prepared. Tablets were packed into aluminium/PVC blisters. The paddle dissolution test was used to determine the release of the active substance into phospate buffer pH 7,2 at the time of preparation (time 0) and at the time points 1.5, 3 and 6 months of stability assay at 40 řC and 75 % relative air humidity. The results show that the drug release from tablets containing microcrystalline celulose was generally faster than from those containing lactose. The same was true for tablets to which croscarmellose was...

Rheological and adhesive properties of matrix for freeze-dryied oral vaccines
Longinová, Vendula ; Šnejdrová, Eva (advisor) ; Šklubalová, Zdeňka (referee)
CHARLES UNIVERSITY Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Name: Vendula Longinová Title of diploma thesis: Rheological and adhesive properties of matrix for freeze-dryied oral vaccines Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Snejdrova, Ph.D. The aim of the diploma thesis was to evaluate the rheological and adhesive properties of formulations for lyophilized oral vaccines and lyophilized tablets formulated on the basis of dextran, iota-carrageenan or trehalose. The theoretical part characterizes dosage forms for application to the oral cavity, lyophilized preparations and excipients for mucoadhesive preparations. In the experimental part, rheological and mucoadhesive properties on a rotary rheometer were evaluated. Formulations containing iota-carrageenan showed higher viscosity, higher gel stiffness, lower degree of relaxation and higher yield stress than trehalose formulations. All lyophilized tablets showed sufficient adhesion to a standardized mucin support in vitro. The performed experiments represent pilot tests of flow, viscoelastic and mucoadhesive properties of lyophilized tablets for oral administration of pertussis vaccine. The contribution of the work is the design of a testing methodology for the final formulations during stability tests. Key words: lyophilized...

Formulation and characterization of oxims loaded PLGA nanoparticles
Hafezi, Ramin ; Šnejdrová, Eva (advisor) ; Paraskevopoulos, Georgios (referee)
Thesis title: Formulation and characterization of oxime loaded PLGA nanoparticles Author: Ramin Hafezi Supervisor: PharmDr. Eva Šnejdrová, Ph.D. Advisor: PharmDr. Juraj Martiška, Ph.D. Department: Department of Pharmaceutical Technology The diploma thesis was focused on PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) which could be loaded with oximes, prepared by a double emulsion technique, and characterised by size, polydispersity and zeta potential. The theoretical part deals with the most common methods of the NPs preparation, the polymers and stabilizers employed, and drug delivery to brain. In the experimental part the effect of various formulation factors on NP characteristics were studied: linear or branched PLGA derivative, the concentrations of polymer, the volumes of primary emulsion. Dichloromethane (DCM) or Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent for polymers were used and Poloxamer 407 or Didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) as an outer phase stabilizer were employed. By comparison among the collected results, it seemed 1% A2 in DMSO and stabilization with poloxamer 407 could be best candidate for the oxime loaded drug delivery systems as it was possible to produce nanoparticles with size from 152 to 168 nm with PDI of below 0.15. Electrostatic stability in case of using DDAB was resulted excellent and...
