About the Institute

The V.P. Kukhar Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the NAS of Ukraine is a leading scientific institution that conducts systematic fundamental and applied research in bioorganic chemistry and petrochemistry in Ukraine.

The principal tasks of the Institute are to conduct fundamental and applied research in the relevant areas of science and technology to acquire new scientific knowledge and to put it into practice. These include:

Synthesis of new potentially bioactive compounds and research of their structure-activity relationship.
Molecular modelling of biological processes, synthesis and exploration of biological properties of new bioregulators for medical and agricultural uses.
Development of a scientific foundation for synthesis and technologies to obtain practically important products and materials from hydrocarbon feedstocks.

Department of

Chemistry of Bioactive Nitrogen Containing Heterocyclic Bases

The Department develops promising methods for the synthesis of potential bioregulators of heterocyclic nature based on innovative reagents to find effective biological agents.

Department of

Mechanisms of Bioorganic Reactions

The Department conducts research to elucidate the mechanisms of bioorganic transformations, synthesise and study the properties of new bioactive compounds, and establish the relationship between their structure and activity.

Department of

Chemistry of Natural Compounds

The Department researches and develops new preparative approaches to synthesise potential biologically active substances based on structural analogues of natural compounds to establish the structure-biological activity relationship.

Department of

Organic and Petrochemical Synthesis

The Department develops methods for obtaining new functional materials and practically important products from renewable plant feedstocks and wastes of various origins. A significant part of the Department's work is devoted to research and resolution of acute environmental problems.

Department of

Catalytic Synthesis

The Department conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of petrochemistry and coal chemistry, in particular, the processing of petroleum hydrocarbons, as well as the production of (bio)fuels, lubricants and other oleochemicals from plant feedstocks.

Department of

Chemistry of Functional Materials

The Department develops and researches new polyfunctional biocompatible conductive/conjugated polymers and their nanocomposites as sensory, electrically conductive, thermosensitive, photoactive, shielding and adsorption active materials.

Department of

Scientific and Organisational Work and Intellectual Property

The Department secures the implementation of works related to the planning and organisation of basic and applied research at the Institute, training of highly qualified researchers, and protection of rights to intellectual property.
