The Search for Domestic Pharmaceutical Substances among Metal Complexes Based on (Hetero)arylamides of 4-Aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-butenoic Acids.

The data obtained on the synthesis and search for biological activity among metal complexes based on 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid (hetero)arylamides were integrated. The data on the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hypoglycemic, antihypoxic, and immunotropic activities of the synthesized compounds were analyzed. The relationship between the chemical structure and biological activity of chelate complexes was discussed and some regular features were identified. Promising compounds for further research and development of new domestic pharmaceutical substances were found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
