The project is aimed at solving the current scientific problem of finding new bioactive drugs based on plant raw materials, namely the product of modern nanotechnology - silver nanoparticles obtained by "green" synthesis using chicory extracts. Accordingly, the aim of the work is to determine the features of the formation and optimization of the process of obtaining silver nanoparticles via "green" synthesis, using biologically active extracts of biotechnological roots of Cichorium intybus L. The development and optimization of such a method will allow using natural components of extracts (primarily polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids), known for their bioactivity (antioxidant, antiradical, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory), synthesized in "hairy" roots (with improved biosynthetic activity compared to control roots) to obtain nanoparticles quickly (synthesis begins in a matter of minutes and in 1 hour a colloidal silver solution with a high content of nanoparticles can be obtained), cheap (for synthesis only plant extracts and a silver salt solution are required), accessible (synthesis occurs at optimal temperatures, at atmospheric pressure and without the use of high voltages) and environmentally safe (when using plant extracts, the need to add toxic stabilizers is eliminated, because the components of the extracts themselves have stabilizing properties in relation to the resulting colloidal solution) method. Such colloidal solutions of silver nanoparticles are of considerable interest, as they are known for their antimicrobial activity, which is valuable in the search for new generation drugs to overcome such a significant problem of humanity as antibiotic resistance. Optimization of obtaining such a product is relevant especially in conditions of military operations, for wound treatment and prevention of infection. This product can be used as a potential material for further development of pharmaceuticals with antimicrobial activity.
During the first stage of the work, a preliminary screening of nine lines of biotechnological chicory roots was carried out for the reducing power of their extracts evaluation. Comparison of these lines among themselves and with control roots showed that in all the studied lines of biotechnological roots the reducing activity was higher than in the control. Among these samples, two lines of biotechnological roots were the most promising for further research. Subsequently, the biomass of the roots of these two lines with high reducing capacity was accumulated, ethanol extracts were obtained and characterized for the total content of flavonoids and bioactivity (antioxidant activity). The results showed that the high reducing power correlated with high antioxidant activity and high content of flavonoids. Based on the studies conducted, these samples were selected for the "green" synthesis of nanoparticles in the second stage of the work.

Saving a scientific data set occurs in two stages:
1.) Creating a data set
Enter the name of the set, a brief description of the set (annotation), and click the “Create set” button. After that, a draft data set will be automatically created, which you can save for further work with the set. The system will redirect you to the “Data set information” page.
2.) Filling in the data
On the “Data set information” page, you need to fill in all the fields related to the data set and upload the files.
Please note! Each file is uploaded separately. This is done to ensure the stable operation of the system.
Once you have filled in the information about the scientific data set and added the necessary files, you can save the draft or send the data to the system.
Please note! Once the data has been sent, you cannot change it.
Drafts are necessary for storing the data set and editing it before sending.
All accounts on the NRA website go through a standard registration procedure and are verified. However, in order to obtain additional features, such as publishing open reviews of academic texts, verification by affiliation is required.
To obtain the status “verified”, you must change your primary email address to a corporate one, which is tied to a scientific or educational institution.
For example: user@ukrintei.ua, user@nas.gov.ua
After confirming your corporate email address, your account will be automatically verified by affiliation.
If your email address is corporate, but your account does not have a verification mark, you need to write to us at the email address NRAT@ukrintei.ua. After verification, we will add your address to the database, and your account will be verified.
After completing the verification procedure for affiliation, you can change the primary email address to a convenient one for you, without losing your status during the current verification.
You only need to verify for affiliation once.
* We use corporate addresses from the Unified State Database on Education and the State Register of Scientific Institutions Supported by the State
To search for news published on the official website of NRАT in the “News” section, you need to enter one word, several words, or an exact phrase in the search field. Different terms are separated by spaces.
The search is performed everywhere – in the title and the news text.
For a more comprehensive result, it is recommended to use word stems (parts of words without endings).
When using multiple words for the search, they are combined using one of the logical methods described below.
By default, the logical connector “and” is used. In this case, search results will include all news releases that contain the specified words, even if they are located separately from each other and are in different parts of the text.
Example: Search phrase: OECD report. Search result: all news containing the words “report” and “OECD” in the text and in the title, both together and separately.
If a phrase or phrase is enclosed in quotation marks (“), the results will include all publications where this exact phrase or phrase is found.
Example: Search phrase: “OECD report.” Search result: all news containing the exact phrase “OECD report.”
If you know the publication date of the news or are interested in a specific time frame in which they were published on the website, you can select such a date or date range in the additional field that looks like a calendar. The date is entered in the format year-month-day and confirmed by clicking on the corresponding date in the calendar dropdown. You can enter a date or choose one by browsing through the calendar by months and years. By default, the interval starts from the oldest date (2018-01-23) and ends with the current date.
You can also use one or more hashtags, which are located under the search field on the right side of the “News” page.
Please note: The search for academic texts is carried out in a separate search window at the following link https://nrat.ukrintei.ua/searchdb.
