Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Drug Control Student: Pavla ábelová Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. RNDr. Veronika Opletalová, Ph.D. Supervisor specialist: PharmDr. Jan Korábe ný, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico studies in the series of novel 7-methoxytacrine-donepezile like compounds Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder of the brain characterized clinically by loss of memory, deterioration of activities of daily living and cognition. The pathological hallmarks of AD include neuritic plaques composed of extracellularly stored fibrils of amyloid- peptide, intracellular deposits of hyperphosphorylated tau and neurotransmitter deficits. The aim of the study was to design and synthesize 7-methoxytacrine-donepezil-like compounds as potential inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, EC 3.1.1.8). New compounds consist of 7-methoxytacrine representing less toxic derivative of tacrine and benzylpiperazine moiety corresponding to donepezil fragment. To determine the potential of new derivatives, AChE and BChE inhibitory activities of the new molecules were assessed in vitro according to the method of Ellman et al....
