Directions of the laboratory's research activities:
- Analysis of phytocomponents of various extracts of ethnic plants of the Armenian flora;
- Research of cytotoxic, cytostatic, antioxidant, anti-infective and anti-tumor antidotes, etc. properties of medicinal plants identification of their active components and biochemical mechanisms of action;
- Chemical synthesis and design of nanoparticles with broad therapeutic activities;
- Biogenic synthesis of non-toxic core-shell nanoparticles and their application;
- Study and identification of parameters and type of interactions of biologically active low molecular weight compounds of secondary metabolism of plants and their semi-synthetic derivatives with canonical and non-canonical forms of DNA by methods of molecular dynamics; with transcription regulators, nuclear trans factors;
- The use of in silico methods for the construction of new pharmacophores with low genotoxicity, cytotoxicity and side effects, compared with clinical analogues;
- Obtaining callus cultures of endemic plants of the Armenian flora, in order to study and increase the efficiency of the synthesis of secondary bioactive metabolites;
- Microclonal reproduction of plants.
