Betulinic Acid-Azaprostanoid Hybrids: Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation as Anti-inflammatory Agents.

Background: Prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases require effective and low-toxic medicines. Molecular hybridization is an effective strategy to enhance the biological activity of new compounds. Triterpenoid scaffolds are in the focus of attention owing to their anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory activities.

[Morphometrical evaluation of fetuses and newborns kidneys status developing under maternal iron deficiency anemaia conditions].

Objective: Introduction: Kidneys in fetuses and newborns play an important role in the homeostasis regulation and are the most vulnerable to the action of damaging factors from the mother organism, therefore it is important to timely assess their morphofunctional state. The aim: The purpose of the study was to reveal the morphometrical features of fetuses and newborns kidneys from mothers, whose pregnancy was complicated by iron deficiency anemia of varying degrees of severity.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The material of the study was the tissue of kidneys of mature fetuses and newborns from mothers with physiological pregnancy (28 cases), as well as from mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by iron deficiency anemia of varying degrees of severity (85 cases).

Fluorine-containing lupane triterpenoid acid derivatives: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation as potential anti-inflammatory agents.

A series of novel fluorine-containing lupane triterpenoid acid derivatives with fluoroaromatic amide moieties at the C-28 position (1-8) or with 2-(fluoroacyl)cyclopentane-1,3-dione fragments at the C-3 position (9-18) of lupane skeleton was synthesized. A simple synthesis of novel lupane triterpenoid hybrids with 2-(fluoroacyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one moieties was developed. An interaction of 2-acyl-3-chlorocyclopent-2-en-1-ones, obtained from corresponding cyclic β-triketones, with methyl 3-amino-3-deoxybetulinate gave 3β-isomers (9-13) and 3α-isomers (14-18) of target hybrids, which were isolated as individual compounds.

[Morphological characteristics of kidneys connective tissue of mature fetuses and newborns from mothers, whose pregnancy was complicated by preeclampsia of varying degrees of severity].

Objective: Introduction: The kidneys connective tissue condition in the antenatal period affects the formation of tissues and it changes with the development of various general pathological processes in this organ. The aim of the study was to identify the morphological features of kidneys connective tissue of fetuses and newborns from mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by preeclampsia of varying degrees of severity.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The material of the study was the tissue of kidneys of mature fetuses and newborns from mothers with physiological pregnancy (28 cases), as well as from mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by preeclampsia of varying degrees of severity (78 cases).
