Abstract:This study presents the first systematic investigation of the anti-diabetic properties of non-oxido V(IV) complexes. In particular, the insulin-mimetic activity of [V(IV)(taci)2](4+), [V(IV)(inoH-3)2](2-), [V(IV)(dhab)2], [V(IV)(hyph(Ph))2], [V(IV)(cat)3](2-) and [V(IV)(pdbh)2]--where taci is 1,3,5-triamino-1,3,5-trideoxy-cis-inositol, ino is cis-inositol, H2dhab is 2,2'-dihydroxyazobenzene, H2hyph(Ph) is 3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, H2cat is catechol and H2pdbh is pentan-2,4-dione benzoylhydraz… Show more
“…Lastly, in a detailed study carried out by Yoshikawa and co-workers of six different crystalline non-oxido V( iv ) complexes, very compelling evidence was provided suggesting that only those complexes that transformed to their vanadyl (oxido) form at physiological pH exhibited insulin mimetic behavior 37. However, such a study could not be carried out with V( v ) complexes partly because very few non-oxido V( v ) complexes have been identified.…”
A non-oxido V(v) complex with glutaroimide-dioxime (H3L), a ligand for recovering uranium from seawater, was synthesized from aqueous solution as Na[V(L)2]·2H2O, and the structure determined by X-ray diffraction.

“…The assumption that the V IV O complexes reach the target cells in the same form as they are administrated is an oversimplification [36]. The biotransformation in the organism is also important in the evaluation of the transport and drug metabolism.…”
“…Inter-conversion between V IV and V V may thus be fast and easy in physiological conditions. It was first suggested by Crans et al [5] that, besides monovanadate(V), V IV O(OH) 3 − may also mimic phosphate [5] [10] [11]. Therefore, the fact that V IV O-species also inhibit different enzymes (in some cases with a greater potency than vanadate(V)) may be based on the formation of V IV O(OH) 3 − and its resemblance to vanadate(V), namely for cysteine-based phosphatases.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
