RESUMEN
Heterocyclic derivatives of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were studied as cryoprotectants of the basic media for cryopreservation of the Russian sturgeon sperm. Rates of lipid peroxidation of sturgeon sperm before and after cryopreservation were reduced in the presence of the studied compounds, exceeding the effects of BHT and water-soluble analogue of vitamin E, trolox. The most efficient antioxidant has the effective concentration of 0.1 mM. Novel antioxidant agents as cryomedium supplements not only reduced the level of lipid peroxidation, but also enhanced the translational motility of the sperm of the Russian sturgeon after defrosting.

The electron ionization (EI) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of substituted N-(ortho-cyclopropylphenyl)benzamides 1-7 and N-[ortho-(1-methylcyclopropyl)phenyl]benzamides 8-12 were recorded. In addition to routine bond cleavages, the molecular ions (M+) of 1-12 undergo cyclization into the corresponding 3-aryl-1-alkyl-1-ethyl-1H-benzoxazines and isomeric 5-ethyl-2-oxodibenzoazepines. The presence of a methyl group in the cyclopropyl ring (compounds 8-12) makes the formation of 5-ethyl-2-oxodibenzoazepine less favorable. In accord with mass spectrometric predictions, compound 13 (3-p-tolyl-1-ethyl-1H-benzoxazine) was obtained as a major product of the reaction of N-(ortho-cyclopropylphenyl)-4-methylbenzamide 1 with sulfuric acid. Traces of 5-ethyl-2-oxodibenzoazepine were also detected in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the reaction mixture although the yield was too low to allow its isolation.
