Vanadium Complex Derived from N’-(3-Bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene) -3-methylbenzohydrazide: Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Biological Activity

Abstract

Reaction of VO(acac) 2 with N'-(3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-methylbenzohydrazide. X-ray analysis indicated that the V atom in the complex is in octahedral coordination. The insulin-like activity of the complex was studied, which can stimulate glucose uptake with 2-DOG uptake value of 0.81 nmol / 3 min.
