In order to avoid low absorption, incorporation, and undesirable side effects of inorganic oxovanadium compounds, the antidiabetic activities of organic oxovanadium (IV) compounds in alloxan-induced diabetic mice were investigated. Vanadyl carboxymethyl carrageenan (VOCCA) and vanadyl carboxymethyl chitosan (VOCCH) were synthesized and administrated through intragastric administration in different doses for 20 days in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Glibenclamide was administrated as the positive control. Our results showed that low-dose group, middle-dose group, and high-dose group of VOCCA and VOCCH could significantly reduce the levels of blood glucose (P < 0.05) compared with untreated group, but not in normal mice. Besides, high-dose groups of VOCCA and VOCCH exhibited more significant hypoglycemic activities (P < 0.01). After treated with VOCCH, the oral glucose tolerance of high-dose group of VOCCH was improved compared with model control group (P < 0.05).
为了避免无机氧钒化合物吸收不良、不易被人体吸收和产生不良副作用,本研究考察了氧钒(IV)有机化合物在四氧嘧啶诱导的糖尿病小鼠中的降血糖活性。合成了氧钒羧甲基卡拉胶(VOCCA)和氧钒羧甲基壳聚糖(VOCCH),并通过灌胃给药,在四氧嘧啶诱导的糖尿病小鼠中连续给药 20 天,不同剂量给药。格列本脲作为阳性对照。结果表明,与未处理组相比,VOCCA 和 VOCCH 的低剂量组、中剂量组和高剂量组均能显著降低血糖水平(P<0.05),但对正常小鼠没有作用。此外,VOCCA 和 VOCCH 的高剂量组表现出更显著的降血糖活性(P<0.01)。经 VOCCH 处理后,高剂量组的口服葡萄糖耐量较模型对照组有所改善(P<0.05)。
