One critical step in new drugs development is the investigation of the interactions between drug candidate and target protein. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) is a well-established technique for studding these interactions.
Due to its availability and structural similarities to human albumin, bovine serum albumin (BSA) is widely accepted as a model for investigating the binding of small molecules to serum albumin. We report here on the evaluation of binding interactions between BSA and 18 metabolites using saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR experiments.
Positive STD signals that indicate metabolite-protein interactions were obtained for leucine, pyruvic acid, valine, threonine, alanine, 4-aminohippuric acid and tryptophan.

Novel indolizines and pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidines bearing a 3-carbonylchromen-2-one moiety on the pyrrole rings were synthesized and spectroscopic properties of some of synthesized compounds were investigated. Synthetic procedures started from 4-substituted pyrimidines, 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-2H-chromen-2-one and electron-deficient alkynes via 3+2 dipolar cycloaddition of cycloimmonium-ylides, generated in situ from their corresponding quaternary salts, in the presence of an epoxide playing the role of acid scavenger and reaction solvent. The structures of novel compounds were confirmed by chemical analyses, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Spectroscopic properties of some of the synthesized compounds were investigated.
