Article Synopsis
- A series of novel 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyrone oxovanadium(IV) compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their potential as insulin-enhancing agents in diabetic rats.
- Compared to vanadyl sulfate, the new complexes showed superior glucose-lowering effects, though this was not linked to blood vanadium levels.
- The study revealed that the vanadium-ligand complexes released the metal ion soon after ingestion, with varying rates of disappearance in different tissues, indicating complex pharmacokinetics.
