TOMSK, Feb 16 – RIA Tomsk, Evgenia Plankina. Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) together with foreign colleagues developed
technology of iodonium salts receiving which will reduce the price of
production of drugs and chemical production on their basis, the head of the
Department of Technology of Organic Substances and Polymer Materials TPU
Mekhman Yusubov reported RIA Tomsk.
He specified that scientists suggest not to use in production of drugs
and chemical production organic oxidizers and to replace them with inorganic
ones. This approach is consistent with the principles of "green
technology", when in production refuse to use dangerous, toxic and expensive
chemicals in favor of safer and cheaper.
"If in production of medicinal substances organic oxidizers are
used, for example derivatives of acetic or benzole acid, then they can be
replaced with inorganic oxidizers, for example hydrogen peroxide, persulphates
and perchlorates which are part of bleaches. And it will be environmentally
safer", – Yusubov told.

He noted that usually in chemical production are used organic oxidizers.
But at such approach received final product needs to be separated from their
remains for what expensive solvents and additional expenses on the electric
power are required. Besides, cleaning is unsafe – in process in the atmosphere
evaporate easily volatile and harmful substances. TPU method doesn't demand
additional cleaning.
According to him, nobody used such approach for receiving of iodonium
salts. The technology can be useful in various fields of science and
technology. In particular, in production of the medicines and
radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostics and theranostics – medical approach
at which medicines and techniques are at the same time both means of early
diagnostics and treatment.
