Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Insulin-Mimetic Activity Evaluation of Valine Schiff Base Coordination Compounds of Oxidovanadium(V).

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes became an alarming global health issue since the existing drugs do not prevent its progression. Herein, we aimed to synthesize and characterize a family of oxidovanadium(V) complexes with Schiff base ligands derived from L-/D-valine (val) and salicylaldehyde (sal) or o-vanillin (van) as insulin-mimetic agents and to assess their potential anti-diabetic properties. Two new oxidovanadium(V) complexes, [{VVO(R-salval)(H2O)}(μ2-O){VVO(R-salval)}] and [{VVO(R-vanval)(CH3OH)}2(μ2-O)], and their S-enantiomers were synthesized and characterized. The compounds exhibit optical activity as shown by crystallographic and spectroscopic data. The stability, the capacity to bind bovine serum albumin (BSA), the cytotoxicity against human hepatoma cell line, as well as the potential anti-dia
