Abstract. The article examines the effect of new synthetic derivatives of glycyrrhetic acid (GrA) on the functional parameters of mitochondria (Mx), as well as the parameters of the CsA-sensitive pore of Mx membranes. As a result of the studies, it was shown for the first time that the derivatives of GrK are 2-(N-cytisine)-ethyl-3-0-acetyl-18H-glycyrrhetate (cytisine-ethyl-GC), 2-(N-cytisine)-isopropyl-3-0-acetyl-18H-glycyrrhetate (cytisine-isopropyl-GC) and N-(2-pyridyl)-3-0-acetyl-11-ketoolean-12-ene-30-amide (2-pyridyl-GC -amide) inhibit the activity of the CsA-sensitive pore and have a protective effect on Mx membranes. At the same time, the damaging effect of Ca2+ ions and the lipid peroxidation process is reduced. Other derivatives of GrK- N-(4-pyridyl)-3-0-acetyl-11-ketooleane-12-en-30-amide (4-pyridyl-GC-amide) and Са2+(N-morpholine)-ethyl-3 -O-acetyl-18H-glycyrrhetate (morpholine-GC) uncouples OF, enhances the damaging effect of CsA-sensitive pore inducers on membranes, increasing their permeability to cations.
