We have designed and offered a comprehensive approach to solving several problems in modern agriculture and human health. It is based on the original use of biotechnology. The mechanisms of alkylation of amines, nucleic acids and their derivatives by etylenimin components have been investigated. Alkylation products were purified and characterized, their biological activity, studied in various systems, was identified as well as their antitumor, antiviral and immunomodulatory effects. Based on the development of original methods of natural substances modification and the use of obtained products for the regulation of molecular biological processes a new scientific direction has been created. This article presents the results of over 50-years-old research on development of original biotechnological methods.
