The aqueous speciation, formation constants, and solution structure were determined for a new insulin-mimetic organic vanadium(V) compound (ammonium (dipicolinato)oxovanadate(V)). properties of the system characterized by using potentiometry, 1H, 13C, 51V NMR 1D 2D spectroscopy, UV/visible spectroscopy. These studies conducted crystalline as well combinations free ligand metal salt. major complex is most stable in acidic pH range, although it does protonate at low pH. It protonates ∼1...
The Schiff base N,N'-ethylenebis(pyridoxylideneiminato) (H(2)pyr(2)en, 1) was synthesized by reaction of pyridoxal with ethylenediamine; reduction H(2)pyr(2)en NaBH(4) yielded the reduced N,N'-ethylenebis(pyridoxylaminato) (H(2)Rpyr(2)en, 2); their crystal structures were determined X-ray diffraction. totally protonated forms 1 and 2 correspond to H(6)L(4+), all protonation constants pH-potentiometric (1)H NMR titrations.

The interactions of various insulin mimetic oxovanadium(IV) compounds with serum proteins were studied in model systems and ex vivo samples. For the modeling study, an earlier situ method was extended applied to formation ternary complexes apotransferrin (apoTf)–VIVO–maltol (mal) 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone (dhp). Both evaluated via simultaneous CD EPR measurements. Determination constants allowed calculation more accurate stability for VIVO–apoTf parent establishment a better...
The understanding of the biotransformations insulin mimetic vanadium complexes in human blood and its transport to target cells is an essential issue development more effective drugs. We present study interaction oxovanadium(IV) with serum albumin (HSA) by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), circular dichroism (CD) visible absorption spectroscopy. Metal competition studies were done using CuII ZnII as metal probes. results show that VIVO occupies two types binding sites albumin, which...
