Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department: Department of Pharmaceutical Botany (16-16130) Author: Tkáčová Beáta Supervisor: PharmDr. Kateřina Breiterová, Ph.D. Title of thesis: Alkaloids of Narcissus species cultivars and their biological activity I. Key words: Narcissus, alkaloids, biological activity, Alzheimer's disease. The main aim of this diploma thesis was to obtain summary alkaloid extracts from bulbs of five species cultivars (Narcissus cv. Acropolis, Delta, White Marvel, Kedron, Scarlet Gem) and one variety (Narcissus albus var. plenus odoratus), labeled as AL-450, AL-457, AL-460, AL-463, AL-467 and AL-508, from which samples were subsequently prepared for GC-MS analysis and screening of biological activities (cholinesterase inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity). Totally, 18 alkaloids were identified by GC-MS analysis, comparing their mass spectra. Identified alkaloids include 3-O-demethylmaritidine, 11,12-dehydroanhydrolycorine, assoanine, dehydroassoanine, galanthamine, galanthine, haemanthamine, hippeastrine, incartine, lycoramine, lycorine, narwedine, norpluvine, pancracine, pluvine, pseudolycorine and tazettine. Samples of cultivars AL-457, AL-460, AL-463 and AL-508, showed relatively promising hAChE inhibitory activity in screening assay (c = 50 µg/ml),...
