Zosima absinthifolia (Vent.) Link is a perennial herb and is found in Iran, Turkey, Iraq and different countries of the Caucasus, Middle East and Central Asia. It is the only member of Zosima genus growing in Azerbaijan. It has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient time in Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. The fruits are used as a food flavoring and as a food spice in Iran. The knowledge of Z. absinthifolia organs containing a great number of bioactive compounds is of high importance. The aim of this study is to sum up literature data on the results of experimental studies of the chemical composition and biological activity of Z. absinthifolia. The results of the chemical study of Z. absinthifolia show that fruits, roots, seeds, flowers and other aboveground parts of plants are rich in various biologically active substances such as coumarins, furocoumarins, pyranocoumarins, flavonoids, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and etc. Chemical components that isolated from different organs of Z. absinthifolia have allelopathic, high antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other properties. Some of the chemical constituents have substantial pharmacological properties. It is clear that Z. absinthifolia has significant potential for useful natural supplements in many contemporary diseases.

The addition of polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate and polyurethane to another high molecular weight compound often provides improvement of properties of initial polymerfilms. These compounds can be successfully applied for obtaining of composite films based on polyimides. In the present work, conditions of making polymer composite films with arylalicyclic structured copolyimides and influence of polyethylene terephthalate on them were studied. It was found that, addition of component from 0.5 to 2 wt.% provides retaining of the polymers’ compatibility in the composite. Films formed from solutions of these compositions are transparent, brittleness of the material is not observed and there were little changes in elasticity compared with original copolyimide film. FTIR studies showed that the formation of these polymer blends leads to the interaction of functional groups of the polymers with hydrogen bonds, which determine the blend components compatibility. It has been found that, upon additional heat treatment of the films no more than 250°C, intermolecular crosslinking partially occurs with formation of an oxygen bridge between the amide acids of copolyimide and the added component. Such crosslinking provides increase of heat resistance and strength of the film. It should be noted that, for carrying out extensive research, it is preferable to use a simple method of mechanical mixing for components.

The mechanism of formation of slightly crosslinked composite hydrogels based on natural agar-agar polysaccharide, synthetic polymers for medical purposes – poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and low-molecular plasticizers (polyethylene glycol PEG-400 and glycerin) synthesized by electron irradiation was considered from the point of view of analyzing their mechanical characteristics under various types of applied efforts. It is established that the synthesis conditions and the component composition of the initial mixture determine the formed structure of the hydrogel compositions and their mechanical properties. A new interpretation of the formation of the structure of composite hydrogels in the presence of various plasticizers is given. A detailed analysis of the deformation curves of composite hydrogels is presented taking into account the elastic-elastic, highly elastic and forced-elastic states.

Chemical transformations of eudesmane sesquiterpene γ-lactones, leading to new biologically active compounds, have become an important direction in medicinal chemistry. This article discusses the stereoscopic intramolecular transformations of the sesquiterpene γ-lactone of the eudesmanic structure (-)-α santonin, a perspective natural compound characterized by a wide spectrum of biological activity.Stereoselective synthesis of new practically significant cis-condensed keto-eudesmane esters and ethylated santonin derivatives was carried out at room temperature in an argon atmosphere by the reaction of α-santonin with methyl and ethyl alcohols and alkyl halides in the presence of the Me3CONa-DMF base. It was revealed that, under the reaction conditions, the initial stage of santonin carbanion formation initiates subsequent stages of intramolecular electrophilic rearrangements with the formation of anenolate ion, which futhur interacts stereoselectively with nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents.It was shown that the synthesis of C4-α-ethyl-santonin with a six-membered ring configuration in the form of a distorted chair-chair can serve as a confirmation of the proposed mechanism of formation of practically valuable 6-keto-eudesmane ethers. In this article, the structure and spatial structure of the synthesized compounds is established using modern physicochemical and spectroscopic (1H NMR, 2D COZY NMR, NOESY, mass-spectrometry and X-ray structural analysis) research methods.
