Famous chemists of the world

Founder of the Institute. Yunusov is the distinguished soviet scientist founder of the biggest scientific school in the field of Natural Products Chemistry in Uzbekistan. He had a fundamental research in the field of alkaloids chemistry. First scientific paper of S. Yunusov was published in and dedicated to alkaloids from the plant of the poppy family.

Academician Orekhov reported the scientific success of his pupil who had succeeded in isolating from wild flora of the poppy family six previously unknown alkaloids and had established the structures of some of them, such as remerine and armepavine. On the basis of this work, three years later Sabir Yunusovich defended his first dissertation for the degree of Candidate of Chemical Sciences Yunusov was honored with the high title of Hero of Socialist.

In for achievements in the development of alkaloid chemistry he was awarded the Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev Gold Medal. Owing to great scientific achievements of the laboratory, it was decided to found on its base the Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances. The group of workers of the laboratory that he headed concentrated their efforts on the search for new alkaloid-bearing plants and on determining the structures of the compounds isolated.

They studied the dynamics of the accumulation of the alkaloids and the mechanism of their formation in the various plant organisms according to their growth site and the vegetation periods. From the results of these investigations S. The work of S. Yunusov on natural alkaloids has proved very important from the scientific and practical points of view.

He and his successors have elucidated the features of the connections of the chemical structure of substances and their pharmacological properties. In the clinical respect, these derivatives are not infrequently more effective than the alkaloids themselves.
