Proteins of biological samples in the process of storage are subject to microbe contamination as well as the destruction by their own lipoprotein lipases. It is established that N-thymol compounds of formulas 52 and 82 stabilize blood serum samples of donors and preserve the content of total protein in them unchanged for 7, 15 and 40 days, respectively. The obtained stabilizers can be used when studying protein metabolism in the organism of cosmonauts performing long-term space flight, depots of nuclear submarines, participants of long-term Alpine, desert, polar and other expeditions.
