Keynote: Organic Chem Curr Res
In the last decade, the progress of chemistry of organic peroxides was catalyzed by numerous reports of their antimalarial, anthelmintic, antitumor, growth regulation and antitubercular activity. The importance of these studies is illustrated by the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Youyou Tu for the discovery and development of Artemisinin. In our work we developed methods for synthesis of various types of cyclic and linear peroxides usng of H2O2 and carbonyl compounds. Cyclic peroxides: ozonides, tetraoxanes, and tricyclic monoperoxides demonstrate prospective anticancer and antiparasitic properties.
