Cytotoxicity of selected naphthoquinones on prostatic cell cultures
Mondeková, Věra ; Gumulec, Jaromír (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
This master´s thesis discusses cytotoxicity of selected naphthoquinones on prostatic cell cultures. The introductory part is dedicated to general characteristic of naphthoquinones with focus on their cytotoxicity, testing of cytotoxicity and mechanisms of cytotoxicity. This part is followed by chapters about cytotoxicity, characteristics and biological activities of selected naphthoquinones; plumbagin and naphthazarin. The last part of this thesis’ theoretical section speaks about fluorescence microscopy and its use in research of naphthoquinones cytotoxicity. The practical part is dedicated to evaluation of cytotoxical tests’ results and to analysation of pictures of cells obtained by fluorescence microscope. At the end of thesis, all finding are summarized and put in the context.

Phytotoxicity of selected naphthoquinones on a selected plant model
Rucký, Jakub ; Masařík,, Michal (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
The introductory part of this thesis is focused on the theoretical analysis of solved problems as examining the toxicity of naphthoquinones plumbagine and juglone, especially with regard to their allelopatic action. The next section is focuses on the plant stress, caused by the action of stress factors leading to their death. There is an experimental protocol and the possibilities of determination the effect of naphthoquinones on the plant model. Experimental section discusses changing growth parameters of the plant samples in different concentrations of the naphthoquinone. There is examined cell viability and changes in the synthesis of the secondary metabolites. Data obtained by using spectrophotometric and microscopic analysis are evaluated with STATISTICA software and statistical significance are plotted.

Using levoglucosenone in the synthesis of naphthoquinone containing compounds
Neumannová, Johana ; Matoušová, Eliška (advisor) ; Baszczyňski, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on using levoglucosenone in the synthesis of the naphthoquinone containing compounds. Levoglucosenone is a versatile and easily available substance which can be prepared by pyrolysis of renewable cellulose-containing materials. The synthesis of the target compound begins with the preparation of the substrate for the tandem reaction (propargyl ether) in three steps. The following key steps of the synthesis include palladium-catalyzed tandem cyclization/Suzuki cross coupling and subsequent Heck reaction. Oxidation of the prepared methoxy-substituted naphthalene yields the o-naphthoquinone, which has a similar structure as some naturally occurring substances with naphthoquinone skeleton, e.g. mansonone D and populene C. Key words: Synthesis, naphthalenes, naphthoquinones, levoglucosenone, catalysis, polycyclic compounds
