Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae, fucoidans, are known for their anticoagulant properties, similar to animal heparin.

Background And Aim: Bacterial vaginosis is among serious health problem for women of reproductive age which influences on their local changes in inflammatory mediators and quality of life. The aim was to assess the dependence of the dynamics of changes in the quality of life of patients with bacterial vaginosis on local levels of TNF-α and IL-1β.
Methods: In the prospective study 37 women aged 19-40 years with bacterial vaginosis were treated according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Introduction: An analysis of the literature on the painkillers long used in traditional medicine, which are isolated from plant materials, has shown that many of them are alkylamides of various carboxylic acids. This fact served as the basis for the study of a large group of N-alkyl-4- methyl-2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ,1-benzothiazine-3-carboxamides as potential new analgesics. The objects of the study were synthesized in the traditional way involving the initial conversion of 4-methyl- 2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ,1- benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid to imidazolide, in which imidazolide was used as an acylating agent.
