TPU chemists in collaboration with scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences will develop acetylene-based biologically active compounds

Description

A new scientific group is being formed at the Research School of Chemistry & Applied Biomedical Sciences of Tomsk Polytechnic University. Under the supervision of Professor Sergey Vasilievsky, TPU scientists, together with scientists from the Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will conduct research in a new field for the university — acetylene chemistry. Compounds based on acetylene have high biological activity, which makes them a promising basis for the creation of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents.
