Ph.D. Thesis Abstract Contribution to cinchona alkaloids chemistry<br />

.<br />

We have optimized two methods of synthesis of two compounds obtained by<br />

substitution of cinchona alkaloids - cinconidina and cinconina, by establishing<br />

optimum molar ratio of reactants.<br />

We developed a new synthesis technology of cinconidine from cinconine by oxidation<br />

cinconinei to cinconidinone, followed by reduction with sodium borohidride, in the<br />

presence of tartaric acid. By treatment with ammonium hydroxide solution in alcoholic<br />

medium and purification, we obtained more than 99.9% purity cinconidine. Synthesis<br />

was monitored by HPLC cromatography. Product quality complies with regulatory<br />

requirements for pharmaceuticals.<br />

For the new product, acetylsalicylic acid ester of QCI (QCI-ASA), potential<br />

biologically active product, we have elaborated a method of analysis by liquid<br />

chromatography HPLC, establishing the optimal stationary phase and mobile phase<br />

composition, which provides a good separation.<br />

We validated the analytical method developed for QCI-ASA compound, assessing the<br />

accuracy, linearity, robustness, limit of detection and limit of quantification. The<br />

conducted study showed that the method of analysis developed for QCI-<br />

ASA compound is specific, robust and fast.<br />

The results were the subject of two articles published in magazines Study, 2011<br />

and Revue Roumaine of Chemistry, 2012<br />

The results were presented as two scientific papers at national and international events.<br />
