Novel vanadyl complexes synthesis, characterization and interactions with bovine serum albumin–effects on STZ- diabetes rats

Abstract

Drug-protein interactions are essential since most administered drugs bind abundantly and reversibly to serum albumin and are delivered mainly as a complex with protein. The nature and strength of drug-protein interactions have a big impact on how a drug works biologically. The binding parameters are useful in studying the pharmacological response of drugs and the designing of dosage forms. Serum albumin is regarded as optimal model for in vitro research on drug-protein interaction since it is the main protein that binds medicines and other physiological components. In this perspective, binary complex have been synthesized and characterized, from vanadium metal and acetylacetone(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-theonyl)-1,3-butanedione). Imidazole, 2-Methyl-imidazole, and 2-Ethyl-imidazole auxiliary ligands were employed for the synthesis of ternary complexes. Additionally, UV absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy were used to examine the binding interactions between vanadium complexes and Bovine Serum Albumin. The outcomes of the binding studies and spectral approaches were in strong agreement with one another. These complexes upon inoculation into diabetes-induced Wistar rats stabilized their serum glucose levels within 3 days. From various studies, it was discovered that the ordering of glucose-lowering actions of these metal complexes were equivalent. The vanadium ternary metal complex derived from (4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-theonyl)-1,3-butanedione) and imidazole as ligands is the best among the other metal vanadium complexes.
