Abstract
Complexity between thiamine (vitamin B-1) and VSO4.xH(2)O salt with the suggest formula, [VO (vitB(1))(2)] has been synthesized by the chemical reaction in neutralization media pH = 7.5 at 70 degrees C. The assignments of the elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, FT-IR, UV-Vis, ESR spectroscopy, thermal analyses (TGA-DTA) and magnetic moment data visualize the stoichiometry, formula and chelation of the vanadyl (II) complex. The spectroscopic analyses revealed that vitamin B-1 reacted with vanadyl (II) ions as a bidentate ligand via hydroxyl ethyl-oxygen and sulfur of the thiazole group. New vanadyl (II) complex has the protective effect against pancreatic toxicity induced by STZ. The target of this investigation was to assess the enhancement effect of new vanadyl (II)complex in two doses on pancreatic toxicity, oxidative stress, DNA damage and hyperglycemia persuade by STZ. The rats were divided into 7 groups; control group, STZ (diabetic untreated group) (50 mg/kg), STZ plus thiamine (10 mg/Kg) (Low dose), STZ plus thiamine (50 mg/Kg) (High dose), STZ plus VSO4. xH(2)O (15 mg/kg), STZ + vanadyl (II) complex (10 mg/Kg) (Low dose), STZ+ vanadyl (II) complex (50 mg/Kg) (High dose). Vanadyl (II) complex in high dose afforded a significant decline in MDA level parallel to significant elevation in antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, MPO and XO) in pancreas homogenates. It may be due to the capturing activities of reactive oxygen species by the new complex, which reduces oxidative damage and enhance antioxidant capacities. The novel complex succeeded in the restoration of lipid parameters to its normal levels beside lowering TNF-alpha and CRP levels. The new complex also reduces hyperglycemia induced by STZ greatly and improve histological and ultrastructure of pancreas and has a high potency in reducing DNA damage in pancreatic tissues.
