Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacognosy Candidate: Michaela Teplanská Supervisor: PharmDr. Daniela Hulcová, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Derivatives of Amaryllidaceae alkaloid vittatine as potential drugs Haemanthamine type Amaryllidaceae alkaloids are characterized by interesting biological activity. This group also includes alkaloid vittatine with antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal and antimalarial effects. Although vittatine does not inhibit cholinesterases, its derivatives have shown promising activity against butyrylcholinesterase, which is one of the targets of potential drugs in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Another series of semisynthetic vittatine derivatives was prepared in order to examine their biological activity. Reactions with acyl chlorides gave 11 aromatic esters. Identification of the prepared substances was performed by ESI HRMS, NMR and optical rotation measurements. The derivatives were tested for inhibitory activity against human cholinesterases. The results show that the substances were not active against acetylcholinesterase, but almost all of them inhibited butyrylcholinesterase. The most active was 3-O-(6-chloro-2- fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl)vittatine with an IC50 value 0.29 ± 0.03 μM. According to the calculated value...
