Abstract

A new vanadium (IV) complex with the monoanion of 2,3-dihydroxypyridine (H2dhp), or 3-hydroxy-2-(1H)-pyridone, was synthesized, characterized by physicochemical techniques and tested biologically. The EPR data for the [VO(Hdhp)2] complex in DMF are: g x  = 1.9768, g y  = 1.9768 and g z  = 1.9390; A values (10−4 cm−1): A x , 59.4; A y//, 59.4; A z , 171.0. The νV=O band in the IR spectrum of the complex is at 986 cm−1. The complex is paramagnetic, with μeff = 1.65 BM (d1, spin-only) at 25 °C. The irreversible oxidation process [V(V)/V(IV)] of the [VO(Hdhp)2] complex, as revealed in a cyclic voltammogram, occurs at 876 mV. The calculated molecular structure of [VO(Hdhp)2] shows the vanadium(IV) center in a distorted square pyramidal environment, with the oxo ligand in the apical position and the oxygen donor atoms of the Hdhp ligands in the basal positions. The ability of [VO(Hdhp)2] to mimic insulin, and its toxicity to hepato-biliary functions, were investigated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and it was concluded that the length of treatment and the amount of [VO(Hdhp)2] administered were effective in reducing experimental diabetes.
