Effect of cholinesterase inhibitors on monoaminergic system and energic metabolism
Kalinová, Tereza ; Mladěnka, Přemysl (advisor) ; Štěpánková, Šárka (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Tereza Kalinová Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Přemysl Mladěnka, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Mentor: Assoc. Prof. Jana Hroudová, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Effect of cholinesterase inhibitors on monoaminergic system and energy metabolism Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors play an essential role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). They effect positively cognitive, functional and behavior symptoms of AD. Up to date, donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine represent the only ChE inhibitors approved for AD treatment. The first ChE inhibitor was tacrine, which was withdrawn from market due to its toxicity and adverse effects. Recently, novel tacrine and 7-methoxytacrine (7-MEOTA) derivatives were synthetized and extensively investigated to find less toxic compounds affecting pathological mechanisms associated with development of AD. There is less known about effects of these drugs on mitochondrial functions and cellular energy metabolism. The aim of this project is to examine in vitro effects of ChE inhibitors on energy metabolism and cellular respiration, specifically on mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes and an enzyme of the citric acid cycle - citrate synthase. Inhibitory effects...
