	abstract = {A series of vanadium compounds, chelated by ligands containing a thiazolidinedione moiety as an additional insulin-enhancing component, were produced in this study to create potentially synergistic compounds. A set of four bifunctional ligand precursors were synthesized: (+/-)-5-4-[(5-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-ylmethyl)amino]benzylthiazolidi ne-2,4-dione (HL1), (+/-)-5-4-[5-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amin o]benzylthiazolidine-2,4-dione (HL2) 5-[4-(5-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-ylmethoxy)benzylidenelthiazolidine-2,4- dione (HL1), and (+/-)-5-4-(5-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-ylmethoxy)benzyl]thiazolidine-2,4 -dione (HL4), each containing a metal chelating portion as well as a thiazolidinedione moiety. From this set of ligand precursors, air-stable VO(L-1)(2), VO(L-3)(2), and VO(L-4)(2) were prepared. The four ligand precursors and three complexes were tested for insulin-enhancing potential in STZ-diabetic rats and compared to rosiglitazone and BMOV, respectively. Both the ligand precursors HL1 and HL3 showed enhanced activity compared with that of rosiglitazone. The complex VO(L-3)(2) showed the most efficacious hypoglycemic effects in this study; however, neither additive nor synergistic effects were observed using this acute animal model.},

	abstract = {We describe a cell-based assay for antimitotic compounds that is suitable for drug discovery and for quantitative determination of antimitotic activity, In the assay, cells arrested in mitosis as a result of exposure to antimitotic agents in pure form or in crude natural extracts are detected by ELISA using the monoclonal antibody TG-3, The assay was used to screen >24,000 extracts of marine microorganisms and invertebrates and terrestrial plants and to guide the purification of active compounds from 5 of 119 positive extracts. A new rhizoxin analogue was found in a Pseudomonas species, six new eleutherobin analogues were identified from the octocoral Erythropodium caribaeorum, and two paclitaxel analogues were found in the stem bark of the tree Ilex macrophylla. The assay was also used for quantitative comparison of the antimitotic activity of different analogues. It revealed the importance of the C-11 to C-13 segment of the diterpene core of eleutherobin for its antimitotic activity. The identification of antimitotic compounds in very low abundance and their high (0.5\%) occurrence in natural extracts indicates that drug discovery efforts using this cell-based assay may lead to the identification of structurally novel antimitotic agents.},

	abstract = {Vanadium compounds, in vitro, stimulate glucose uptake and inhibit lipid breakdown, in a manner remarkably reminiscent of insulin{\textquoteright}s effects. In vivo, vanadium enhances insulin{\textquoteright}s plasma glucose and lipid-lowering properties, leading to normalization of diabetic symptoms in the presence of only minimal endogenous insulin. The coordination chemistry of vanadium has great versatility for adjustment of pharmacological characteristics. Vanadium compounds are generally also very redox active, which is both advantageous and detrimental for optimizing biochemical function. In this perspective, we review and comment on how these properties have been revealed, what questions have arisen along the way, and where future investigations may be headed. While this is not a comprehensive overview of all available compounds touted as {\textquoteright}insulin enhancing agents{\textquoteright}, it will focus on those which are distinctive in some way, or which are representative of the larger library of vanadium compounds, including all currently known relevant oxidation states of vanadium.},
