Author: Lucie Jánská Název: Alkaloids of family Amaryllidaceae: genus Zephyranthes Diploma thesis Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmacognosy 2018, 75 p. The aim of this diploma thesis was to summarize all knowledge about alkaloids izolated from Zephyranthes plants of Amaryllidaceae family. It contains a detail overview of botanical charactericts of phytochemically studied plants of the genus Zephyranthes. Also the overview of alkaloids with bilogical activity was described. Within the genus Zephyranthes 10 species were studied phytochemically and 89 alkaloids were isolated from this plants. This alkaloids are divided in several structural groups. The lycorine-, haemanthamine-, galanthamine- and pancratistatine-type alkaloids occure the most frequently. Acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory, anticancer and antimalarial activity of the alkaloids was described like the most important. The most significant acetylcholinesterase- inhibitory activity was observed in alkaloids from galanthamine sctructural type. Anticancer activity was found the most in lycorine-, pancratistatine- and haemanthamine- type alkaloids. The most notable antimalarial activity was observed in lycorine- and heamanthamine- type alkaloids. Keywords Zephyranthes, Amaryllidaceae,...
