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 />
