Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Insulin-Mimetic Activity Evaluation of Valine Schiff Base Coordination Compounds of Oxidovanadium(V).

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes became an alarming global health issue since the existing drugs do not prevent its progression. Herein, we aimed to synthesize and characterize a family of oxidovanadium(V) complexes with Schiff base ligands derived from L-/D-valine (val) and salicylaldehyde (sal) or o-vanillin (van) as insulin-mimetic agents and to assess their potential anti-diabetic properties. Two new oxidovanadium(V) complexes, [{V^VO(R-salval)(H₂O)}(μ₂-O){V^VO(R-salval)}] and [{V^VO(R-vanval)(CH₃OH)}₂(μ₂-O)], and their S-enantiomers were synthesized and characterized. The compounds exhibit optical activity as shown by crystallographic and spectroscopic data. The stability, the capacity to bind bovine serum albumin (BSA), the cytotoxicity against human hepatoma cell line, as well as the potential anti-diabetic activity of the four compounds are investigated. The synthesized compounds are stable for up to three hours in physiological conditions and exhibit a high capacity of binding to BSA. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds display cytocompatibility at biologically relevant concentrations, exert anti-diabetic potential and insulin-mimetic activities by inhibiting the α-amylase and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, and a long-term increase of insulin receptor phosphorylation compared to the insulin hormone. Thus, the in vitro anti-diabetic potential and insulin-mimetic properties of the newly synthesized oxidovanadium(V) compounds, correlated with their cytocompatibility, make them promising candidates for further investigation as anti-diabetic drugs.

Project description:A series of Schiff bases (3.a-f) bearing benzimidazole moiety was successfully synthesized in ethanol by refluxing Oct-2-ynoic acid (1,3-dihydrobenzimidazole-2-ylidene)amide with substituted amines. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultra violet light (UV-VIS), elemental analysis, proton (1H) and carbon (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to characterize the newly synthesized Schiff bases. Micro dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of the Schiff bases, against 14 human pathogenic bacteria (8 Gram negative and 6 Gram positive) and against 7 fungal strains (5 Aspergillus and 2 Fusarium) representatives. Antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum and antitrypanosomal property against Trypanosoma brucei was studied in vitro at a single dose concentration of the Schiff bases. Cytotoxicity of the Schiff bases was assessed against human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cells. Results obtained show that the newly synthesized Schiff bases are very potent antimicrobial agents. Gram negative bacteria Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli were more affected on exposure to Compounds 3.c-f (MIC 7.8 µg/mL) which in turn exhibited more antibacterial potency than nalidixic acid reference drug that displayed MICs between 64 and 512 µg/mL against K. pneumonia and E. coli respectively. The test compounds also demonstrated high cytotoxic effect against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus carbonarius as they displayed MFC 7.8 and 15.6 µg/mL. Compound 3.c exhibited the highest fungicidal property from this series with MFC alternating between 7.8 and 15.6 µg/mL against the investigated strains. The malarial activity revealed Compounds 3.c and 3.d as the more potent antiplasmodial compounds in this group exhibiting 95% and 85% growth inhibition respectively. The IC50 of Compounds 3.c and 3.d were determined and found to be IC50 26.96 and 28.31 µg/mL respectively. Compound 3.a was the most cytotoxic agent against HeLa cells in this group with 48% cell growth inhibition. Compounds 3.c, 3.d and 3.f were biocompatible with HeLa cells and displayed low toxicity. With a very low cytotoxic effect against HeLa, compound 3.c stands out to be a very good antiparasitic agent and consideration to further evaluate the candidate drug against others cell lines is necessary.
