Synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of oxovanadium(IV) complexes with polyalcohols

Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of the polyalcohols sorbitol, galactitol, and mannitol, of stoichiometry Na 2[VO(L) 2]·H 2O, were obtained from aqueous alkaline solutions. They were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and UV–vis spectroscopies, thermoanalytical (thermogravimetric and differentia...

Zusammenfassung:Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of the polyalcohols sorbitol, galactitol, and mannitol, of stoichiometry Na 2[VO(L) 2]·H 2O, were obtained from aqueous alkaline solutions. They were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and UV–vis spectroscopies, thermoanalytical (thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis) data, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The biological activities of the complexes on the proliferation, differentiation, and glucose consumption were tested on osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3E1 osteoblastic mouse calvaria-derived cells and UMR106 rat osteosarcoma-derived cells) in culture. The three complexes exerted a biphasic effect on cell proliferation, being slight stimulating agents at low concentrations and inhibitory in the range of 25–100 μM. All the complexes inhibited cell differentiation in tumor osteoblasts. Their effects on glucose consumption were also discussed. The free ligands did not show any effect on the studied biological parameters.
