ABSTRACT
The ability of the synthesized compounds of germanium with bioligands to affect the biosynthesis and activity of alpha-amylase and alpha-L-rhamnosidase has been studied. It was established the most complexes tested induced biosyntheis of alpha-amylase of Bacillus subtilis 147 (119-252%) with the exception of Pam (Pyracetam) and II (Ge-nicotinic-citric acid). At the same time the biosynthesis of alpha-amylase of Bacillus licheniformis 234 and alpha-L-rhamnosidase of Penicillium commune was inhibited by a number of synthesized compounds. The complexes IV (Ge-malonic acid) and VIII (Ge-nicotinamide-malonic acid) did not exert any effect on the biosynthesis of alpha-amylase however complex IV stimulated alpha-L-rhamnosidase biosynthesis on the 3rd day of producer cultivation. The study of influence of the studied germanium compounds on the activity of alpha-amylase and alpha-L-rhamnosidase gives every reason to suppose that they are the inhibitors of the above-mentioned enzymes.

Germanium complexes (IV) with succinic (H2Suc), oxyethyliminodiacetic (H2Oeida) and iminodisuccinic (H4Ids) acids as well as homo- and heteroligand germanium complexes (IV)--products of interaction of triammonium salt of oxyethylidendiphosphonic acid ((NH4)3HL) and oxyacids: tartaric (H4Tart), citric (H4Citr), trioxyglutaric (H4Toglut) acids have been synthesized. Composition of the obtained complexes: [Ge(OH)2(NaSuc)2].2H2O (I); [Ge(OH) (Oeida).H2O].H2O (II); [Ge(OH)2(NaHIds)2] (III); [Ge(OH)2(NH4)3HL) (H2Tart)] (IV); [Ge(OH)2(NH4)3HL) (H2Citr)] (V); [Ge(OH)2(NH4)3HL) (H2Toglut)] (VI); [Ge(OH)2((NH4)2HL)2] (VII); [Ge (OH)2((NH4)2HL)2] (VII); [Ge(OH)2 (H2O)2(NH4) HL] (VIII) has been determined. The capability of the synthesized compounds has been studied to affect synthesis and activity of the following enzymes: collagenase, alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (alpha-GalNAc-ase) and alpha-galactosidase (alpha-Gal-ase). It has been established that the complexes II-VIII activate biosynthesis of alpha-Gal-ase and alpha-GalNAc-ase, while germanium dioxide (IX) and complex I possess considerable inhibiting effect on synthesis of the above enzymes. It has been also established that all the compounds except for IV increased the activity of both alpha-Gal-ase and alpha-GalNAc-ase. All the considered complexes demonstrated similar reaction with respect to collagenase: they inhibited both synthesis and activity.
