v angličtině Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Michela Morkusová Supervisor: Přemysl Mladěnka, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Chelation ability of experimentally used iron chelators Iron is a vital element, playing many important functions in the body. Its presence in too low or too high quantities is harmful. The body has no excretion route for iron, and in certain circumstances, excess iron can accumulate in body tissues. Iron is present in the body in excess particularly in individuals undergoing frequent blood transfusions or having genetically based diseases associated with iron overload (hemochromatosis). Iron excess is medically treated by administration of iron chelators. Such substances can find wider therapeutic use as well, e.g. in individuals with acute myocardial infarction or with tumours. This Thesis was aimed at determining the stoichiometric ratio in the complexes of two experimental chelators, salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), with iron(II) and iron(III) ions at four different pathophysiologically significant pH levels (4.5, 5.5, 6.8 and 7.5). Spectrophotometry was used as the analytical method. In the processing stage, various new...
