[Biophysical parameters of erythrocyte membranes and mechanisms of interaction with non-opioid analgesics under acute pain syndrome].

Methods of fluorescent probing, spectrophotometry and microcalorimetry were applied to investigate the alterations in biophysical parameters of erythrocytes membranes, and specifically microviscosity, surface charge, molecular organization of lipid bilayer and lipid-protein interactions under conditions of acute pain syndrome produced by experimental chemical lesion. The distinctive features of non-opiod analgesics interactions and binding to the erythrocytes membranes of rats subjected to acute nociceptive pain accompanied with oxidative stress development were investigated. The abilities of analgesics under research, and namely paracetamol, aspirin, phenazone, ketorolac, pyrodazole, ketoprofenum, natrium mefenaminate, indometacin, nimesulide to make up physico-chemical complexes with lipoperoxidation modified erythrocytes surface and protein-lipid bilayer showed marked changes. The significance of oxidative damage of biophase under conditions of acute pain syndrome for analgesics effective pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics realization is under consideration.

[Antioxidant and cerebroprotective action of N-,S-chinazolone derivative under rat brain ischemia].

Under modelling of brain ischemia in rats the antioxidant and cerebroprotective action of new N-,S-chinazolone derivative--compound NC-224 has been established. The compensation of pathobiochemical abnormalities in the system "LPO-antioxidant protection" is observed, indicators of carbohydrate metabolism and energy-supply, and morpho-functional status of brain cells are improved under administration of the compound NC-224. Administration of the compound NC-224 to rats promoted a decrease of the lethality index and signs of neurological deficiency.

[Antioxidant activity of condensed [1,2,4]-triazinone derivatives in nitrosative stress].

Antioxidant activity of nine [1,2,4]-triazinone derivatives was studied in the work. Our data show that [1,2,4]-triazinone derivatives with benzyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, me-thyl alcohol and tolyl residues in their structure have antioxidant activity in condition of in vitro NO formation. KO-17 compound proved to have the greatest antioxidant activity which exceeded N-acetyl cysteine's one.

[Effect of nicotinamide on the reactions of peroxide oxidation of biomolecules in the rat brain and erythrocytes in 1,2-dichloroethane toxic injury].

It was established that acute poisoning of rats by 1,2-dichloroethane induced considerable changes in lipid peroxidation indices, glutathione content and activity of antioxidant enzymes--superoxidase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase in the brain tissue, erythrocytes and blood plasma. It was shown that nicotinamide in the dose of 200 mg/kg prevented considerable degree of the intoxication caused by 1,2-dichloroethane as well as activation of lipid peroxidation and inhibition of antioxidant defens enzyme activities in tissue of experimental animals.

[Fatty acid composition of lipids in erythrocytes and blood plasma in cadmium intoxication and its correction with unitiol]. / Zhyrnokyslotnyi sklad lipidiv erytrotsytiv i plazmy krovi za umov kadmiievoï intoksykatsiï ta v razi korektsiï unitiolom.

The effect of cadmium chloride on the fatty acid composition of lipids of the erythrocytes and blood plasma has been studied. It has been established that in the process of cadmium intoxication the decrease of the level of unsaturated fatty acids takes place and the most considerable changes in the content of oleic and arachidonic acids. It makes possible to assume the disturbance of both the erythrocytes membrane structure and metabolism in the erythrocyte. Unitiol injection promotes the normalisation of the indices under investigation.

[Scientific-Pedagogic School of Biological and Medical Chemistry of the O. O. Bogomolets National Medical University (on the 160th year of its founding)]. / Naukovo-pedahohichna shkola biolohichnoï ta medychnoï khimiï Natsional'noho medychnoho universytetu im. O. O. Bohomol'tsia (do 160-richchia zasnuvannia).

In this work the most important stages of the scientific-pedagogic school of biologic and medical chemistry formation in Bogomolets National Medical University starting from the period of foundation as early as in 1863 till nowadays the Chair of Medical Chemistry and Physics as a part of Medical Faculty of Saint Volodymyr Emperor University in the city of Kyiv have been estimated and generalized. The especial attention is attracted to the fact, that it was Kyiv University where firstly the Chair of Biochemistry was created in order of stuyding the regularities of biochemical processes running in the human organism and metabolism disturbances inducing the pathologic processes at some diseases. The scientific and scientific-pedagogical trends of the chair work in different periods of its development are presented, simltneously the leading role of famous Ukrainian scientists--biochemicians in foundation and development of biologic and medical chemistry scientific school in the University are emphasized. Nowadays the Chair is the educational and scientific center supporting and developing the best traditions on training the specialists of different qualification levels: physicians Masters of Science, Philosophy Doctors and Doctors of Science in Medicine and Biology. The Chair is considered to be a basic one among the Ukraine higher medic and pharmaceutic educational institutions having the III-IV accreditation rate on the problems of teaching-organizational, educational-methodical and scientific work. On the Chair base there is functioning the Scientific Problem-Solving Commission of Ministry of health Protections of Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine "Biological and medical Chemistry" (the chairman is the Corresponding-Member of Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, Prof. Yu.I. Gubsky. The Chair personnel compiled and issued the contemporary manuals in Ukraine language on Biologic and Bioorganic Chemistry.

[Study of hemoglobin system components and antioxidation enzymes in cadmium intoxication]. / Vyvchennia komponentiv systemy hemohlobinu ta antyoksydantnykh fermentiv za kadmiievoï intoksykatsiï.

Cadmium intoxication has been defined to make material changes in hemoglobin system by elevation of sulfhemoglobin and methhemoglobin levels on the back-cloth of lowering of general hemoglobin. Alongside with the latter there is observed a violation of antioxydation protection including the activity of erythrocytic catalase, ceruloplasmin, ferrum saturation of transferrine.

[Biochemical mechanisms of genome-protective activity of pyridine carbonic acid new derivatives with cells damaged by tetrachloromethane]. / Biokhimichni mekhanizmy henomozakhysnoï diï novykh pokhidnykh pirydynkarbonovykh kyslot za urazhennia klityn tetrakhlormetanom.

The biochemical mechanisms of genomoprotective action of the new derivatives of pyridinecarbonic acids--PV-3, PV-4 and PV-6 in the conditions of tetrachloromethane chemical cell damage have been studied. This effect is related to their antioxidant influence on LPO processes in transcriptionally active and repressed chromatin fractions of rat liver cells and partial restoration of these fractions structure which has been destroyed during intoxication. PV-4 possesses the most genoprotective activity among the substances studied.

Embikhin causes activation of LPO processes in endoplasmic reticulum and in nuclear chromatine fractions of rat liver cells. The latter is accompanied by the impairment of repressive and active nuclear chromatine fractions structure. Derivate of vitamin E in these conditions renders correcting action on parameters of lipid peroxidation in the investigated subcellular structures, testifying its positive influence on the cell heredity apparatus state. The normalizing action of tocopherol derivative on cytochromes P450 and b5 levels is shown.
