Synthesis and application of organogermanium compounds

The application of organogermanium compounds (OGCs) to the creation of biologically active medicines with unique properties that possess a wide range of pharmacological actions, including the series of Panaxel drugs and Germavit mineral vitamin complex, is considered. Based on OGC, novel biologically active materials for medical technology were developed: dental flosses, retention surgical suture, bandages, and other products. The biological activity of OGC also allows to use them in perfumery and cosmetics industries. The methods for the synthesis of organogermanium compounds are described.
