Synthesis of Polyfunctional Chlorines Based on Methylpheophorbyde а and Its Analogs

Dmitriy Belykh, Alexander Kuchin
Keywords: methylpheophorbide а , chlorophyll, chlorine
Pages: 617-629

Abstract >>
Application of methylpheophorbyde а as an initial compound for the synthesis of potential anticancer agents is considered. The possibility to carry out a number of reactions participated by the main reaction centres of methylpheophorbyde а (exocycle, vinyl group, propionate substituent) for preparative purposes is shown. The use of the reactions of the main centres provides the possibility to obtain porphyrin compounds of diverse structures. All the synthesized compounds have a chlorine pharmacophore in the molecule, which ensures their activity as photosensitising agents for photodynamic therapy of oncological and other diseases.

Transformations of Plant Glycosides as a New Scientific Direction

Lidiya Baltina
Keywords: glycyrrhizic acid, transformations, derivatives, analogs, activity
Pages: 703-708

Abstract >>
Selective transformations of triterpene glycoside (glycyrrhizic acid), which is the main biologically active component of the roots of (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) and (Gl. uralensis Fisher) at the carbohydrate chain and/or aglycon were carried out. New groups of biologically active compounds valuable for medicine were obtained (amides, glycopeptides, pyrazoles, conjugates with aminosaccharides, triterpene glycosides), possessing high anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic, immunopotentiating and antiviral activity. It was established that chemical modification of glycyrrhizic acid by adding amino acids, dipeptides and amino saccharides into the carbohydrate part of its molecule opens the outlooks for the synthesis of new stimulants of the humoral immune response, antiHIV-1-, antoSARS CoV- and antiEBV-agents.

Oksana Kazakova, Genrikh Tolstikov
Keywords: triterpenoids, betuline, betulinic acid, anti-cancer activity, antiviral activity
Pages: 727-730

Abstract >>
Outlooks for the use of triterpenoids of lupane series in medical practice are discussed. Among native compounds, especially important one is betulic acid, a highly efficient anti-cancer agent and inhibitor of ЕСНО6 enterovirus. The most promising semi-synthetic derivatives of lupane series are amides, ureides, dipeptides and acylates of betulic, betulonic and 3-oximinonetulonic acids possessing high anti-HIV activity, pronounced anti-tumour and organ-protecting action. It is shown that the production of biologically active additives with betuline extract is actively developing.

New Approach to the Synthesis of Pheromones and Juvenoids with Small Cycles in Molecule

Olga Kukovinets, Tatyana Zvereva, Vakhtang Kasradze, Marat Abdullin, Genrikh Tolstikov
Keywords: (+)-3-carene, О±-pinene, ozonolysis, pheromones, juvenoids, biologically active compounds
Pages: 731-734

Abstract >>
Natural terpenes (+)-3-carene and α-pinene are widely used in the synthesis of biologically active substances. On the basis of the products of their ozonolytic splitting, synthesis schemes were developed for juvenoids, pheromones, pyrethroids. In the present work we propose a new efficient approach to the synthesis of pheromones and juvenoids with cyclopropane and cyclobutane rings in the molecule by means of ozonation of α,β-unsaturated ketones carenone and verbenone, which are easily obtained from (+)-3-carene and α-pinene. The mechanism of formation of 2,2-dimethyl-3-acetylcyclobutanecarboxylic acid - synton is the synthesis of the pheromone of grape mealybugs - is proposed.
