Main scientific directions. The research work is directed to the molecular design, synthesis and study of supramolecular interactions of crown-ethers, calixarenes, thiacalixarenes and calixresorcinolarenes. The aim of investigations is creation of highly selective receptors of molecules and ions, approaching in properties to the natural enzymes, and search for their practical application. Original types of three-dimensional macrocyclic compounds optimally prearranged for creation of supramolecular complexes with metal cations, anions and neutral organic molecules and bio-molecules, including ecologically hazardous and biologically important ones, have been synthesized.
Main scientific results. The investigations resulted in elaboration of new phosphorus-containing calixarenes which in 2-3 order of magnitude exceed the known industrial extractants (trialkylphosphineoxides, carbamoylphosphineoxides, 2-diethylhexylphosphorus acid) in selectivity and extractivity of actinides, lanthanides, platinum group metals, technetium (the main components of nuclear fuel waste).
Calixarenephosphonic acids have been obtained. These acids effectively and (stereo)selectively inhibit alkali phosphatases, influence transportation of calcium in smooth muscles, inhibit fibrin polymerization. These properties open paths for creation of API for medicine (in collaboration with the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of NASU and Palladin Biochemistry Institute of NASU).
