Abstract
The article is dedicated to the chemical transformations of the natural sesquiterpene γ-lactone molecule 3-oxo-4,7α,6β(H)-germacr-1(10)(E),11(13)-dien-6,12-olide (argolide). For the first time, 18 new derivatives based on 3-oxo-4,7α,6β(H)-germacr-1(10)(E),11(13)-dien-6,12-olide have been synthesized, representing polyfunctional molecules with oxygen functionalities, halogen atoms, phosphorus, and nitrogen. The reaction of forming a hybrid compound based on sesquiterpene γ-lactone and alkaloids is discussed. Stereoselectivity and regioselectivity of the reaction of the molecule 3-oxo-4,7α,6β(H)-germacr-1(10)(E),11(13)-dien-6,12-olide with reagents are noted.
The new germacranolide compounds were studied for cytotoxicity, antitumor, antiparasitic, and antimicrobial activities.
In in vitro experiments, antiparasitic activity of argolide samples and their derivatives against the promastigote of Leishmania amazonensis and the trypomastigote of Trypanosoma brucei brucei was observed. In in vivo conditions, 100 % effectiveness of argolide against helminths Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala was determined in dogs.

Fitoterapia is a Journal dedicated to medicinal plants and to bioactive natural products of plant origin. It publishes original contributions in seven major areas:
1. Characterization of active ingredients of medicinal plants
2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
