RESUMEN
The conformational properties of three pyridoxine derivatives were studied by 1 H dynamic NMR spectroscopy. Conformational exchange caused by a rotation of 2-nytrophenyl group around one single C-C bond, of 2,4-dinitrophenyl substituent around two single C-O bonds, and twist-twist transformations of the seven-membered ketal cycle was observed by NMR experiments at low temperatures. Meanwhile, the conformational exchange of the acetal ring remains fast in the NMR timescale even at 198 K. The energy barriers for all observed conformational exchange processes were determined by the lineshape analysis of dynamic NMR spectra. The activation barriers of the 2-nitrophenyl group rotation were almost the same for all studied compounds, about 40-41 kJ/mol. The energy barriers of the conformational exchange processes of the 2,4-nitrophenyl group and the ketal cycle increased significantly up to 10 kJ/mol in comparison with previously studied compounds with similar structure.

RESUMEN
Hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors or statins reduce the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is known as a well-established risk factor for atherosclerosis. Despite the fact that statins have a common pharmacologic target essential to sterol biosynthesis, their efficacy, safety, and potential non-LDL actions vary significantly for different statins. There is a hypothesis that pharmacological features of statins depend on their location in cell membrane, but to the present day there is a lack of information in literature on interactions of statins with the surface of the cell membrane in liquid media. The results of NMR experiments showed that all studied statins form intermolecular complexes with models of cell membranes (dodecylphosphocholine micelles) in water solution. Locations of pravastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin and cerivastatin on model membranes were established by NOESY NMR data. Distinctions in their positions can explain differences in pharmacological properties of studied compounds.

The aim of this work was to study the mechanisms of interaction between pravastatin and cell membranes using model membranes (sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles) by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy methods. On the basis of the nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, it was established that pravastatin can form intermolecular complexes with sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles by the interaction of its hydrophilic groups with the polar surface of the micelle. Conformational features of pravastatin molecule were also studied.

A series of pyridoxine derivatives was investigated by (1) H and 2D nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) NMR. The free energies of activation for the pyridyl-oxygen rotation of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether of the seven-membered acetals of pyridoxine were measured by dynamic NMR. A conformational exchange between the chair and twist forms of the seven-membered acetal ring was confirmed by dynamic NMR and STO3G computations.
