Vítovcová, A.: Biological activity of secondary plants metabolites IV. Alkaloids of Vinca minor L. Diploma thesis, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology, Hradec Králové 2016. Extract of Vinca minor L. was separated to fractions in column chromatography. Flash chromatography, preparative TLC and crystalisation led to isolation of two alkaloids from fraction number two and number five. Alkaloids were identified by GC/MS as (+)-vincaminorine and vincorine. These alkaloids were tested for their inhibition activity towards cholinesterase (AChE and BuChe). Obtained activities IC50 were compared with standards (galanthamine, huperzine A). The most interesting activity against galanthamine (AChE 1,710 ± 0,065 µM, BuChE 42,30 ± 1,30 µM) and huperzine A (AChE 0,033 ± 0,001 µM, BuChE > 1000 µM) showed vincorine (AChE > 1000 µM, BuChE 9,75 ± 0,45 µM). His activity toward BuChE is higher than the activity of both standards. Inhibition activities of (+)-vincaminorine (AChE 746,5 ± 84,13 µM, BuChE 684,32 ± 70,66 µM) are negligible. Key words: Alzheimerʼs disease, cholinesterase, Apocynaceae, Vinca minor L., indole alkaloids
