Novotná, Hana ; Kašparová, Marie (advisor) ; Siatka, Tomáš (referee)
Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy Candidate: Hana Novotná Supervisor: PharmDr. Marie Kašparová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Secondary metabolites of plant tissue culture of Trifolium pratense L. Explant cultures are perspective sources of secondary metabolites. Nevertheless production of flavonoids and isoflavonoids by the suspension culture of Trifolium pratense L. is not high. Elicitation is one of the methods used to enhance the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Elicitation induces physiological changes, stimulates defensive or stress-induced reactions in plants and subsequently triggers the synthesis of secondary metabolites. The objective of this study was to observe the influence of two elicitors - abscisic acid and ascorbic acid - on the production of flavonoids and isoflavonoids by the Trifolium pratense L. suspension culture (Sprint variety). The culture was cultivated in Gamborg medium to which 2 mg.l-1 of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2 mg.l-1 of 6-benzylaminopurine were added, at the temperature of 25 řC and 16 hours light / 8 hours dark period. The best elicitation effect of abscisic acid on the production of flavonoids and isoflavonoids was observed after a 6-hour application of the highest 500 µmol.l-1...

The pharmacokinetics of isoflavonoides
Ungerová, Lucie ; Pourová, Jana (advisor) ; Mladěnka, Přemysl (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Lucie Ungerová Supervisor: PharmDr. Jana Pourová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: The pharmakokinetics of isoflavonoids The aim of this diploma thesis is to summarize currently available informations about the pharmacokinetics of the polyfenolic compounds from a large group of flavonoids, isoflavonoids. Isoflavonoids are coumpounds found in many plant families, but especially in some members of Fabaceae family. One of the main well-known sources are soy beans containing the most famous isoflavones - genistein and daidzein, their pharmakokinetics is the main theme of this diploma thesis. Since isoflavonoids are mainly contained in the diet, their oral administration is very relevant. Isoflanonoids in the human diet occurs predominantly in the form of glykosides and therefore, after ingestion, they have to be deglycosylated by β- glucosidase enzyme family to aglycones. After that they are able to pass through the intestine into the systemic circulation and they are available for action. This is already happening in the oral cavity and the absorption occurs in the small intestine. The intestinal bacterial microflora composition is also very important for pharmacokinetics, for example I can mention...

The study of secondary metabolites in plant tissue cultures I
Blahušová, Adriana ; Kašparová, Marie (advisor) ; Siatka, Tomáš (referee)
Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy Candidate: Adriana Blahušová Supervisor: PharmDr. Marie Kašparová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: The study of secondary metabolites in plant tissue cultures I A principal precondition for successful elicitation used to increase the production of secondary metabolites is, among other, finding a suitable elicitor, its concentration and the optimal period of time of the action of the elicitor on the plant culture in vitro, which was the aim of the present diploma thesis. The effect was examined of a 6, 24, 48 and 168 hour action of the solution of chitosan (in four concentrations) on the production of flavonoids in the suspension culture Trifolium pratense L. (variety Sprint, Tempus and DO-8). The culture was cultivated in Gamborg medium to which 2 mg/l of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2 mg/l of 6-benzylaminopurine were added, at the temperature of 25řC and 16 hours light/8 hours dark period. The best elicitation effect of chitosan on the production of flavonoids was the lowest concentration of 1 mg/100ml in all three studied varieties after 48 hours of application.

The effect of methylviologen on secondary metabolites production in in vitro culture of Genista tinctoria
Macová, Alena ; Tůmová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kašparová, Marie (referee)
Elicitation is one of possible methods for increasing the secondary metabolites production in plant cell cultures. This paper explores the potential effect of methylviologene on isoflavonoids production in Genista tinctoria L. suspension and callus cultures. Schenk and Hildebrandt nutrient medium was used with the addition of growth regulators 2,4- D in concentration of 5 mg/L and kinetin of 1 mg /L of medium. Elicitor was added in the form of ethanol solution at concentration of 2.19·10-2 mol l-1 , 2.19·10-3 mol l-1 , 2.19·10-4 mol l-1 . Samples were taken after 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours of elicitor exposure. Control samples were collected at 6, 24, 72 and 168 hours. The isoflavonoid content in suspension and callus cultures and in nutrient medium was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography. The biggest increase of isoflavonoid content in callus culture was reached in daidzein content after 48 hours elicitor treatment in concentration of 2.19·10-3 mol l-1 (8.5 mg/g DW) and 2.19·10-4 mol l-1 (1.6 mg/g DW). The production of genistin, genistein and formononetin was slightly increased or zero compared to controls. Biochanin A was almost absent in the samples. The highest level of isoflavonoids was measured in the suspension culture after 48 hours elicitor application in the...

Cardiovascular effects of isoflavonoids
Jančíková, Lenka ; Pourová, Jana (advisor) ; Vopršalová, Marie (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Bc. Lenka Jančíková Supervisor: PharmDr. Jana Pourová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Cardiovascular effects of isoflavonoids Background: The aim of this thesis is to summarize existing findings about natural vegetable substances known as phytoestrogens-isoflavones and to map the results of latest studies focused on cardiovascular effects of isoflavones. Main findings: Available data suggest that isoflavones and their metabolites have positive effect on human organism. These include antiaterosclerotic, antimenopausal and anticarcinogenic effects and a positive effect on osteoporosis. Positive effect on cardiovascular system includes antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, antiproliferative and antiaggregating effects. On the other hand, there are studies that point out possible risks related to mainly long-term use of isoflavones. Nevertheless, even though the findings of cardiovascular effects are not always consistent, most of them confirm positive effects of isoflavones on cardiovascular system. Conclusion: Isoflavones and their metabolites are a very interesting group of substances with natural origin and carry a potential for possible development of new drugs. Therefore, they...
