Ureas, carbamates and oxamates are rather common structural motifs. They are present in both natural and synthetic compounds that exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activity. These derivatives of carbonic and oxalic acids are regularly employed as the basic structural elements in hybrid molecule synthesis, as well as in organic synthesis in general. A series of unsymmetrical hybrid compounds (E1–E4) has been synthesized, with core imidazolidin-2-one and aryl moieties as urea and carbamate derivatives. Plant growth regulatory activity of these compounds was studied with respect to their influence on germination, growth and development of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds in laboratory and field tests. Their effect on drought resistance concentrations as low as 4 × 10−7 M was established. Compounds E1 and E4 have shown higher growth-regulating activity than standard thidiazuron and CCC.

Plasma chemistry is part of the development of high technology that meets the modern requirements of greening and resource conservation. The study of physic-chemical laws and processes occurring in the zone of action of electric discharge plasma near the surface of a liquid is of high scientific and applied interest. In the study, developed and patented by a team of authors, plasma-chemical reactors were used, which implement the treatment of a liquid with both barrier and glow discharges near the surface of the liquid phase in a flow-through mode. Solutions of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols were used as a model object of plasma-chemical treatment. As a result of the study, the mechanisms of liquid-phase oxidation of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols during plasma-chemical treatment of water were proposed. The emission spectra of electric discharges at the gas-liquid interface in the presence of dissolved organic substances were obtained and analyzed. Spectral studies of electrodischarge plasma in the liquid-liquid zone confirmed the differing composition of the inorganic oxidation products of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols. When deciphering the spectra of barrier and glow discharges, the characteristic emission bands of nitrogen N2, OH-radicals and nitric oxide, as well as lines of atomic hydrogen H and oxygen O were shown. In addition, the effect of the nature of the organic substances contained in the treated water on the characteristics of the electric discharge plasma was shown

Objectives. The chemistry of 67Ga and 68Ga radionuclides plays a key role in nuclear medicine for applications in radiopharmaceuticals, in particular, in noninvasive in vivo molecular imaging techniques. The use of radiometals for labeling biomolecules typically requires the use of bifunctional chelators, which contain a functional group for covalent bonding with the targeting vector in addition to the polydentate fragment coordinating the metal. The aim of the present review article is to analyze the currently accumulated experimental material on the development and application of bifunctional chelators of gallium cations in medical research, as well as to identify the main requirements for the structure of the chelator and its complexes with 68Ga, which are used to create effective Gabased pharmaceutical preparations.Results. The review analyzed macrocyclic bifunctional chelators forming stable in vivo complexes with 68Ga and acyclic chelators, whose main advantage is faster complexation kinetics due to the short half-life of 68Ga. The advantages and disadvantages of both types of ligands were evaluated. In addition, a critical analysis of the binding constants and the conditions for the formation of complexes was presented. Examples of the influence of the geometry, lipophilicity, and total charge of the metal complex on the biodistribution of target radiopharmaceuticals were also given.Conclusions. Despite the progress made in the considered areas of bifunctional chelators, the problem of correlating the chemical structure of a metal-based radiopharmaceutical with its behavior in vivo remains important. Comparative studies of drugs having an identical targeting vector but containing different bifunctional chelating agents could help further elucidate the effectof metal chelate moiety on pharmacokinetics. In order to create effective bifunctional chelating agents, it is necessary to take into account such factors as the stability and inertness of the chelator and its complexes under physiological conditions, lipophilicity, complexation kinetics, chelation selectivity, combinatoriality of the basic structure, along with economic aspects, e.g., the availability of raw materials and the complexity of the synthesis scheme.
