Mgr. Aneta Ritomská

Education

• 2014-2019 Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy, (Master degree), Thesis: Derivatives of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids as potential drugs.
• since 2019, postgraduate study at Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany in the study program: Pharmacognosy and Nutraceuticals. The theme of Doctoral Thesis: Derivatives of crinine structural type of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids as potential drugs in the treatment of oncological diseases.

Research focus

• isolation of secondary metabolites from the plant family Amaryllidaceae (isolation, analysis, and structural identification using flash chromatography, prep. HPLC, GC-MS, LC-MS).
• preparation of semi-synthetic derivatives of isolated compounds.

• biological activity of secondary metabolites and prepared derivatives (AChE, BuChE, GSK-3β inhibitory activity, cytotoxic activity).

Current position

• a doctoral student at Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Department of Pharmaceutical Botany.
