Research Intrest

Heterocyclic Chemistry (mainly partially hydrogenated azines: dihydro- (tetrahydro-) pyridines, pyrimidines, polycyclic derivatives) - studies of chemical, physical chemical and biological properties Medicinal Chemistry (synthesis and studies of neurotropic, cardiovascular, antioxidative, membrane protective, radioprotective, UV-protective, peptidomimetic, gene transfection agents) Research in organic chemistry, especially – partially hydrogenated nitrogen and sulfur containing heterocycles, medicinal and food chemistry (antioxidants), drug research (radioprotectors, cardiovascular compounds and neuroprotectors). Scientific articles – 475, 64 patents, 105 authors certificates. Developed and registered 2 original preparations for medicine: antihypertensive, antianginal preparation foridone (riodipine), radioprotector diethone; for agriculture – antioxidant, feed and food stabilizer diludine; proposed preparations for organic analysis.
