IV. CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
Part of the VEGA project No. 1/1379/04 Syntheses directed towards novel heterocyclic
compounds with optoelectronic properties, specific biological activity and apoptosis (Gabriel
Čík)
A new type of copolymer of alkylated oligomeric thiophene and polyethylene oxide was synthesized. The
copolymer is soluble in common organic solvents and in solid state, which creates structurally-organized clusters
composed of conducting (oligothiophenic) and non-conducting (PEO) segments. Separated thiophenic phase was
confirmed by TEM, and localised fluorescence of the thiophenic clusters.
A new heterogenous photocatalyst was prepared by oxidative polymerization of the thiophene in the ZSM-5
zeolite type. The polythiophene absorb radiation in the visible range of the spectrum and by illumination with
visible light generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in water medium. Efficiency of the photocatalyst was tested
on the killing of Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli.
Project duration: from 01.01.2004 to 31.12.2006
VEGA project No. 1/1381/04 The study of separation and isolation of metals and radionuclides
from environmental components by natural and chemically modified sorbents (Vasil Koprda)
This project is focussed to select natural and modified sorbents having the best (structural, mechanical, physicochemical
and sorption) properties for waste water treatment, reduction of concentration of metals and
radionuclides in waste waters and for a casual use as barriers against water or soil contamination at ecological
incidents.
The project is aimed to research properties of ion exchangers and their modifications to improve removal,
especially kations of heavy metals and radionuclides at waste water treatment. Concerning the high dose
equivalents of Pb 210 in human bones, the project is focussed as well for optimalisation of this heavy metal
determination in mineral waters to assure the human limit of effective dose. The possibilities to affect
transdermal penetration of radionuclides and/or tracer substances and their bioavailability are evaluated . The
subject of the project is also the study of possibilities of limitation of effects at toxic wastes treatment in connection
with introduction and improvment of the environmental management system.
Project duration: from 01.12.2004 to 31.12.2006
VEGA project No. 2/5051/25 The effects of antioxidants and substances affecting imunity
system studied in vivo on model of adjuvant arthritis (Principal reasearcher Katarína
Bauerová - IEP SAS, Vice-principal researcher for FChFT - Vasil Koprda)
The aim of the project is to research possibilities to influence a transport of drugs, drug and diagnostic substances
through the skin and its components. In the case of harmfull contaminants to search the possibilities of increasing
the penetration barriers, and in the case of drugs to find out possibilities how to enhance the process of
penetration. For this sake use both, in vitro and in vivo models. To define the share of transepidermal and
transfolicular penetration. To study of markers transport across synthetic biomembranes.
In this project, using animal model of 5- and 9-day skin of new-born rat, model of human forearm and synthetic
biomembranes of different composition, the transdermal and transfollicular transport of drugs, drug substances ,
radioactive markers and biogene substances across the skin and its components is researched. The possibilities
to influence the penetration barriers are determined
Project duration: from 01.01.2005 to 31.12.2007
