Vanadium has potential for use in diabetes therapy. Many investigators have reported toxic effects of inorganic vanadium salts; however, there are few reports on toxic effects of oxovanadium(VO(2+)) complexes. Therefore, we studied VO(2+) toxicity by examining histological changes and measuring the vanadium concentration in the testis after repeated oral administration of bis(1-oxy-2-pyridine-t...

the interactions between platinum complexes and human serum albumin (hsa) play crucial roles in the distribution, metabolism, and activity of platinum-based anticancer drugs. octahedral platinum (iv) complexes represent a significant class of anticancer agents that display molecular pharmacological properties different from cisplatin. in this study, the interaction between two pt(iv) complexes ...

SUMMARY. It has been recently found that bis(pyrro1idine-N-carbodithioato)-oxovanadium (IV) is an orally active insulin-mimetic complex. In order to facilitate the characterization and rapid identification of this interesting drug, we have recorded its infrared and Raman spectra and made an assignment of its most characteristic bands. On the basis of this analysis some structural peculiarities ...
