Data on protective groups for the thiol function of cysteine and methods of disulfide bonds formation used in modern peptide chemistry are considered and systematised. The advantages and disadvantages of protective groups, of reagents used for cyclisation, and possible side reactions associated with them are described. The bibliography includes 119 references.

On treatment of amberlyst A‐26 in its C1′ form with NaBH4 in water for one day and subsequent drying, the BH; form is prepared.

Influence of antioxidants on two phototoxic effects of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) was studied: erythema and changes in mechanoelectrical properties of skin. alpha-Tocopherol and its analogs with shortened lateral hydrocarbon chains at C2-atoms of chromane groups (chromanols) were used as antioxidants. alpha-Tocopherol and its analogs inhibited both phototoxic effects of 8-MOP. Inhibition was observed only if antioxidants were present in skin during irradiation. When applied after irradiation these antioxidants produce no inhibitory effect. The antioxidant antierythemal action depends greatly on their concentration. The protective effects is maximal at antioxidant concentrations 2.5 . 10(-10) - 5 . 10(-9) mol . cm-2 of skin, at concentrations higher than 5 . 10(-9) mol . cm-2 the protective action is decreased. The protective effect of antioxidants depends on the irradiation dose.
