The proposed invention relates to the field of medicine, specifically to immunology.
The complement system is part of the immune system, which is activated when ingested alien bacteria and antigens. After the destruction of foreign bodies activation of complement is terminated. However, a wide range of immune, autoimmune and immunodeficiency diseases, accompanied by the defeat of their own body tissues, is associated with excessive and (or) late activation of the complement system. To the group of acute conditions associated with activation of the complement system, which may include respiratory delesne, wound disease, asthma, recurrent (post-surgery) vascular stenosis, the syndrome of multiple organ failure, hemorrhage, Guillain-Barre syndrome. In a group of chronic conditions include paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, disease Alsheimer, rejection of organs transplant, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis. Often the activation of the complement system, leading to complications that arise due to incomplete biocompatibility of the materials in devices for hemodialysis, artificial hearts, and others In this regard, the establishment of effective modulators of the complement system, is able to prevent its destructive effect on the body, is one of the topical problems of modern molecular immunology
Known macromolecular therapeutic agents based on natural and recombinant forms of the natural inhibitors of the complement system (C1-ING and sCRl) [Asghar S. S. Pharmacological manipulation of the complement system in human diseases. //Frontiers in Bioscience. 1996. March 1. V. 1 P. 15-25]. The reason for the attractiveness of recombinant proteins as therapeutic drugs, is already incorporated in them biological properties, However, the high cost recombinase low molecular weight inhibitors of the complement system.
Today found a lot of strong low-molecular-weight inhibitors of the activation of complement in vitro. Among them, antitumor, protivovospalitelnye, antifibrinolytic agents. Rosmarinic acid (1) inhibits activation of the complement with IC50180 µm [Sahu A., Rawal N. Inhibition of
complement by covalent attachment of rosmarinic acid to activated C3b //Biochem. Pharmacol. 1999. V. 57, P. 1439-1446]. This natural connection is difficult, moreover, insufficiently active.
The most similar structure and the result achieved by the proposed subject of the invention are synthetic analogues of Cleanaway acid (2). From table.1 shows that the most active compound in this series inhibits activation of the complement with IC5031.4 µm [H. Assefa, Nimrod A. Synthesis and evaluation of potential complement inhibitory semisynthetic analogs of oleanolic acid. //Bioorg.Med.Chem.Lett. 1999. V. 9. P. 1889-1894].
The obvious disadvantages of such an inhibitor should include enough high activity, low availability of the source Cleanaway acid, the multistage obtain its derivatives, has the required property.
The technical purpose of this invention is the synthesis of more active inhibitor of complement.

Definition antihemolytic activity (AA) is carried out in a standard hemolytic system of the following composition: sensitized rabbit antibodies to sheep erythrocytes, the sample analyte, the complement of the Guinea pig, peronally buffer (pH 7.4) containing ions of CA2+and Mg2+(VBS++) [Kozlov L. C., Rostovtseva L. I., The Poseur Ie, Sutovsky N. S., Sorokina, I. B., Barkov T-I. // Bioorganic. Chemistry, 1985, T. 11, S. 1510-1518].
Preparation of the buffer. Under stirring and heated dissolve 3 g (0.0145 mol) of medinal and 5.75 g (0.0312 mol) of veronal in 1.5 l of distilled water. Dissolve 85 g (1.45 mol) of NaCl and bring the volume to 2 L. Add anhydrous NaOH (0.4-0-5 g) to pH 7.4. Then add 5 ml of 1 M solution of magnesium chloride and 1.5 ml of 1 M solution of calcium chloride.
Preparation of erythrocytes. Red blood cells are stored at 4°C in sterile test tubes in a solution of Olivera under anaerobic conditions. In experiments using erythrocytes in VBS++. In all experiments use only cold buffer solution (to reduce spontaneous lysis of erythrocytes). For the experiment, sterile taken 2-3 ml of the suspension of erythrocytes, add 20 ml of buffer, gently shaken until homogeneous sostoaniy sediment. After that add the buffer to achieve the previous level. The described operation is repeated up until the supernatant is not bleached. The resulting suspension of erythrocytes further standardizes.
Preparation of sensitized erythrocytes. To 10 ml of a suspension of erythrocytes (1· 109cells/ml) was added 10 ml of a solution of rabbit antibodies obtained by dilution buffer (VBS++) in the ratio of 1:400, mixed and incubated for 30 min at 37° C, shaking occasionally. Suspension is centrifuged at 3000g 5 minutes Then the supernatant is carefully poured, add a little VBS++and resuspended residue.
Standardization of sensitized erythrocytes. Erythrocyte suspension was adjusted to a concentration of 1.5· 108cells/ml to 1900 μl of distilled water was added 100 μl of the suspension of sensitized erythrocytes and shake up until the solution became transparent. You must ensure that the optical density of the solution was in the range of 1.000-1.050. For this purpose, if necessary, dilute the suspension of erythrocytes buffer and repeat the operation preparation lysed solution and optical density measurement. Further use standardized erythrocytes.
After incubation in tubes make additional 3 ml of cold buffer. All the tubes centrifuged 5 min at 3000g, measure the optical density of the supernatant (A414ex and a414 p/l AVG). Further calculated according to the formula I values lysis build a graph of the dependence of lysis concentration of complement.
L=AEX/A414 p/l AVG·100% (I)
ANDEX- the optical density of the supernatant samples 5-16;
A414 p/l AVG. the average optical density of the supernatant samples 1-3.
You also need to pay attention to the background lysis of erythrocytes ANDCE(lysis in pure buffer). It is desirable that it does not exceed the value of optical density of 0.1. If it is larger than 0.2, it is necessary to take a new batch of red blood cells.
For further experiments use the concentration of complement in which there is 75-80% lysis of erythrocytes.
To determine antihemolytic activity of substances in each tube is ntrol for complete lysis is performed by adding distilled water instead of buffer. Control 75-80% of the lysis is carried out in samples 4-6.
The tubes are thoroughly shaken and incubated at 37° C for 25 minutes After that, the contents of the tubes is cooled to 4° C, diluted with buffer 4 times and centrifuged at 3000g for 5 minutes then the supernatant is separated, the amount of released hemoglobin in the sample is measured spectrophotometrically at 414 nm.
