Novel Peptidomimetic Cyclo-{E(I)-E(W)}Na (CP-88) with Hematopoietic Activity Sustained in Invasive and Oral Administration: Experimental and Preclinical Evaluation.

Over the last decades, significant progress has been made in studying agonistic and antagonistic hematopoietic peptides. The main disadvantage of this class of peptides is their low stability with noninvasive administration methods, which limits the widespread use of hematopoiesis-regulated peptide drugs in medical practice. The aim of this work is to study novel peptidomimetics with hematopoietic activity sustained in invasive and oral administration.

Leaf Extracts of Invasive Woody Species Demonstrate Allelopathic Effects on the Growth of a Lawn Grass Mixture.

Biochemical composition was studied in the leaf litter of alien woody species included in the 100 most aggressive invasive species of Europe: , , , , and . Using GC-MS, we detected 187 metabolites in the leaf litter, which are phenolic acids and their derivatives, carbohydrates and their derivatives, polyphenolic compounds, cyclic esters, glycosides, and amino acids and their derivatives. Species-specific metabolites were identified for each species.

The Effect of Whole Blood and Bone Marrow with the Addition of Pyrimidine-2,4(1h,3h)-dione Thietanyl Derivatives on Free Radical Oxidation.

Background: It is relevant to study the general patterns and identify non-specific mechanisms of body protective and adaptive reactions violation, which can lead to the various pathological processes and develop principles for the correction of these disorders. One of the therapy and prevention directions is the search for new medicines. In recent years, new derivatives of pyrimidine bases have been synthesized and studied.

Plant Invasion Research in Russia: Basic Projects and Scientific Fields.

This paper represents a review of comprehensive research into invasion biology done by Russian scholars for four decades. Invasion biology is a relatively new field of research focused on the study of alien plants, their behavior in new habitats and risks they pose to indigenous species. It is shown that over 40 years, single finds of alien plant species have transformed into a check-list of invasive species in Russia.
