title: Understanding the mechanism of action of the novel SSAO substrate (C7NH10)6(V10O28).2H2O, a prodrug of peroxovanadate insulin mimetics.
abstract: A new vanadium salt, hexakis(benzylammonium) decavanadate (V) dihydrate (C(7)NH(10))(6)(V(10)O(28)).2H(2)O (1), has been synthesized as well as characterized chemically and biologically. An in vitro enzyme assay revealed that compound 1 is oxidized to the same extent as a combination of benzylamine and vanadate by the enzyme semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), and therefore can be considered an SSAO substrate. It also stimulates glucose uptake in isolated rat adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. We describe here the results of (51)V-NMR experiments that, combined with the in vitro results, corroborate that compound 1 could act as a prodrug of di-peroxovanadate ([V(OH)(2)(OO)(2)(OH)(2)](2-)) insulin mimetics.
