New derivatives of the -decaborate anion [BH-O(CH)O(CH)C(O)-L-OCH] (An) (: L = Trp; : L = His; : L = Met; : L = Ala(2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl) (Pld) were synthesized and isolated as tetraphenylphosphonium salts (PhP)An. Anions ; ; , and contain a pendant functional group from the L-tryptophan methyl ester, L-histidine methyl ester, L-methionine methyl ester, or methyl 2-amino-3-(2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl)propanoate (-Trp-OCH, -His-OCH, -Met-OCH, or -Pld-OCH) residue, respectively, bonded with the boron cluster anion through the oxybis[(ethane-2,1-diyl)oxy] spacer. This pacer is formed as a result of the nucleophilic opening of the attached dioxane molecule in the [BHO(CH)O] starting derivative.

Studies conducted on cell cultures reveal that aminoadamantane amino acid derivatives exhibit the capacity to hinder the replication of viruses containing viroporins. Furthermore, certain compounds demonstrate potent virucidal activity with respect to influenza A/H5N1 and hepatitis C virus particles.

Recent examples of their utilization as boron protective coatings including using them to synthesize boron carbide, boron nitride, metal borides, metal-containing composites, and neutron shielding materials are discussed. The data are generalized demonstrate the versatile application of materials based on boron cluster anions and carboranes in various fields.

Viroporins can be alternative protein targets. The aim of this study is to identify antiviral properties of histidine derivatives with cage substituents in relation to pandemic strain SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.

In this work, a synthetic approach to prepare an example of new class of the derivatives of the closo-decaborate anion with amino acids detached from the boron cluster by pendant group has been proposed and implemented. Compound Na[BH-O(CH)C(O)-His-OMe] was isolated and characterized. This compound has an inorganic hydrophobic core which is the 10-vertex boron cage and the -O(CH)C(O)-His-OMe organic substituent.

Insufficient solar insolation and inadequate vitamin D content in food dictate the need to study the epidemiological structure of low vitamin D status in Russia.
Aim: To assess the incidence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency among the population living in the regions of the Russian Federation located at latitudes from 45 ° to 70 °.
Calcium and vitamin D are essential micronutrients, whose deficiency adversely affects not only bone health, but also the functioning of the whole organism. of this study was to explore the level of calcium and vitamin D intake in the adult population of the Tyumen region, in order to optimize the nutritional program. .

It has been found that TPT is a sensitive chromogenic reagent due to its potentiometric and spectral characteristics. Products of the reaction between DMH and TPT have been characterized by mass spectrometry and EPR spectroscopy.

Both isomers are found to act as four-, bi-, or zero-dentate ligands in reactions with copper(II), silver(I), and lead(II) through apical and/or equatorial boron atoms. Solid-state photo- and thermoinitiated reactions of octadecahydro-eicosaborate isomerization and solvent cleavage occurring in these compounds in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal manner are studied in situ.

Two copper(I) atoms coordinate a bridge boron cage through an apical edge and a triangular BBB face situated at its opposite apical vertices to form four 3c2e (CuHB) and one 2c2e Cu-B bonds. The charge density model was obtained by density functional theory calculations of isolated molecule and crystal.

Techniques for conducting a combination of immunological methods have been elaborated for wide introduction into public health practice. The five main tasks have been substantiated in detail: two are connected with treatment and three with prophylaxis of diseases. These are: (I) prognosis of the course and control of the effectiveness of disease treatment; (2) compiling an immunological passport of people for the improvement of the effective use of the immunogram in clinical practice; (3) detection of genetic and acquired defects of the immune system components; (4) detection of delayed formation and restructuring of the immune system in the process of the organism's age-hormonal reorganization; (5) control of the development of immunological failure (its appearance, course and removal).
