Laboratory for biotechnology of physiological active substances


The basic work direction is searching for new bioregulators among the natural and synthetic compounds.

The laboratory is open to cooperation and will gladly consider proposals for joint projects.

Examples of research:

  1. Creating virtual combinatorial libraries and screening of potential biologically active substances.
  2. Carrying out computer prediction of the biological effects of the compounds.
  3. Synthesis and identification, determination of physicochemical constants azaheterocycles derivatives.
  4. Testing of new materials at various levels (in vitro, in vivo, microorganisms, plants, animals).
  5. Determination of correlations "structure-property-biological action."
  6. The selection of the most promising substances for in-depth biological research, development of laboratory regulations, and effective dosage forms.

Biological researches:

1) The molecular level

  • Antiradical activity

2) The cell level

  • The cytoprotective activity

3) In isolated organs and cell groups

  • Antioxidant activity (enzymatic and non-enzymatic initiation of free radical oxidation)
  • Membrane stabilizing activity

4) On the intact organisms

  • The antimicrobial activity
  • Acute toxicity chemical
  • Hepatoprotective activity
  • Radioprotective activity
  • Cytotoxic Activity
