Abstract
The first report on the anti-cancer activity of the compound Metvan, [VIVO(Me2phen)2(SO4)], where Me2phen is 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, dates back to 2001. Although it was immediately identified as one of the most promising multitargeted anti-cancer V compounds, no development on the medical experimentation was carried out. One of the possible reasons is the lack of information on its speciation in aqueous solution and its thermodynamic stability, factors which influence the transport in the blood and the final form which reaches the target organs. To fill this gap, in this work the speciation of Metvan in aqueous solution and human blood was studied by instrumental (EPR, electronic absorption spectroscopy, ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS), analytical (pH-potentiometry) and computational (DFT) methods. The results suggested that Metvan transforms at physiological pH into the hydrolytic species cis-[VO(Me2phen)2(OH)]+ and that both citrate and proteins (transferrin and albumin in the blood serum, and hemoglobin in the erythrocytes) form mixed complexes, denoted [VO(Me2phen)(citrH-1)]2- and VO-Me2phen-Protein with the probable binding of His-N donors. The measurements with erythrocytes suggest that Metvan is able to cross their membrane forming mixed species VO-Me2phen-Hb. The redox stability in cell culture medium was also examined, showing that ca. 60% is oxidized to VV after 5 h. Overall, the speciation of Metvan in the blood mainly depends on the V concentration: when it is larger than 50 μM, [VO(Me2phen)(citrH-1)]2- and VO-Me2phen-Protein are the major species, while for concentrations lower than 10 μM, (VO)(hTf) is formed and Me2phen is lost. Therefore, it is plausible that the pharmacological activity of Metvan could be due to the synergic action of free Me2phen, and VIVO and VVO/VVO2 species.

Abstract
The interaction of the potential anti-tumor agent vanadocene dichloride ([Cp2VCl2] or VDC) with some relevant bioligands of the cytosol such as proteins (Hb), amino acids (glycine and histidine), NADH derivatives (NADH, NADPH, NAD(+) and NADP(+)), reductants (GSH and ascorbic acid), phosphates (HPO4(2-), P2O7(4-), cAMP, AMP, ADP and ATP) and carboxylate derivatives (lactate) and its uptake by red blood cells were studied. The results indicated that [Cp2VCl2] transforms at physiological pH into [Cp2V(OH)2] and that only HPO4(2-), P2O7(4-), lactate, ATP and ADP form mixed species with the [Cp2V](2+) moiety replacing the two hydroxide ions. EPR and electronic absorption spectroscopy, agarose gel electrophoresis and spin trapping measurements allow excluding any direct interaction and/or intercalation with DNA and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Fenton-like reactions. Uptake experiments by erythrocytes suggested that VDC crosses the membrane and enters inside the cells, whereas 'bare' V(IV) transforms into V(IV)O species with loss of the two cyclopentadienyl rings. This transformation in the cellular environment could be related to the mechanism of action of VDC.

Abstract
This study presents an implementation of the protein-ligand docking program GOLD and a generalizable method to predict the binding site and orientation of potential vanadium drugs. Particularly, theoretical methods were applied to the study of the interaction of two VIVO complexes with antidiabetic activity, [VIVO(pic)2(H2O)] and [VIVO(ma)2(H2O)], where pic is picolinate and ma is maltolate, with lysozyme (Lyz) for which electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy suggests the binding of the moieties VO(pic)2 and VO(ma)2 through a carboxylate group of an amino acid residue (Asp or Glu). The work is divided in three parts: (1) the generation of a new series of parameters in GOLD program for vanadium compounds and the validation of the method on five X-ray structures of VIVO and VV species bound to proteins; (2) the prediction of the binding site and enantiomeric preference of [VO(pic)2(H2O)] to lysozyme, for which the X-ray diffraction analysis displays the interaction of a unique isomer (i.e., OC-6-23-Δ) through Asp52 residue, and the subsequent refinement of the results with quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics methods; (3) the application of the same approach to the interaction of [VO(ma)2(H2O)] with lysozyme. The results show that convenient implementation of protein-ligand docking programs allows for satisfactorily reproducing X-ray structures of metal complexes that interact with only one coordination site with proteins and predicting with blind procedures relevant low-energy binding modes. The results also demonstrate that the combination of docking methods with spectroscopic data could represent a new tool to predict (metal complex)-protein interactions and have a general applicability in this field, including for paramagnetic species.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the (51)V hyperfine coupling (HFC) tensor A have been completed for 20 "bare" V(IV) complexes with different donor sets, electric charges, and coordination geometries. Calculations were performed with ORCA and Gaussian software, using functionals BP86, TPSS0, B1LYP, PBE0, B3LYP, B3P, B3PW, O3LYP, BHandHLYP, BHandH, and B2PLYP. Among the basis sets, 6-311g(d,p), 6-311++g(d,p), VTZ, cc-pVTZ, def2-TZVPP, and the "core properties" CP(PPP) were tested. The experimental Aiso and Ai (where i = x or z, depending on the geometry and electronic structure of V(IV) complex) were compared with the values calculated by DFT methods. The results indicated that, based on the mean absolute percentage deviation (MAPD), the best functional to predict Aiso or Ai is the double hybrid B2PLYP. With this functional and the basis set VTZ, it is possible to predict the Aiso and Az of the EPR spectrum of amavadin with deviations of -1.1% and -2.0% from the experimental values. The results allowed us to divide the spectra of nonoxido V(IV) compounds in three types-called "type 1", "type 2", and "type 3", characterized by different composition of the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) and relationship between the values of Ax, Ay, and Az. For "type 1" spectra, Az ≫ Ax ≈ Ay and Az is in the range of (135-155) × 10(-4) cm(-1); for "type 2" spectra, Ax ≈ Ay ≫ Az and Ax ≈ Ay are in the range of (90-120) × 10(-4) cm(-1); and for the intermediate spectra of "type 3", Az > Ay > Ax or Ax > Ay > Az, with Az or Ax values in the range of (120-135) × 10(-4) cm(-1). The electronic structure of the V(IV) species was also discussed, and the results showed that the values of Ax or Az are correlated with the percent contribution of V-dxy orbital in the SOMO. Similarly to V(IV)O species, for amavadin the SOMO is based mainly on the V-dxy orbital, and this accounts for the large experimental value of Az (153 × 10(-4) cm(-1)).

Abstract
The biotransformation in the plasma and red blood cells of two potential antitumor V(IV)O complexes formed by flavonoid ligands (quercetin or que and morin or mor) and their sulfonic derivatives (quercetin-5'-sulfonic acid or que(S) and morin-5'-sulfonic acid or mor(S)) was studied by spectroscopic (EPR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) and computational (DFT, Density Functional Theory) methods. Que and que(S) form with V(IV)O stable complexes, and in the systems with apo-transferrin (apo-hTf) and albumin (HSA) VO(que)2 and VO(que(S))2 remain unchanged. VO(mor)2 and VO(mor(S))2 undergo displacement reactions to give the partial formation of (VO)x(HSA) and (VO)(apo-hTf)/(VO)2(apo-hTf); moreover, mor(S) forms with apo-transferrin and albumin mixed species VO-mor(S)-apo-hTf and VO-mor(S)-HSA. In the systems with apo-hTf and HSA anisotropic EPR spectra at room temperature are detected in which the protein is not directly coordinated to V(IV)O(2+) ion. This is explained assuming that the bis-chelated complexes interact strongly with the proteins through a network of hydrogen bonds with the polar groups present on the protein surface. It is suggested that this "indirect" transport of V(IV)O species could be common to all the species containing ligands which can interact with the blood proteins. Uptake experiments by red blood cells were also carried out, using vanadium concentration of 5.0×10(-4)M and incubation time in the range 0-160min. VO(que)2/VO(que(S))2 and VO(mor)2/VO(mor(S))2 cross the erythrocytes membrane and in the cytosol VO(que)2/VO(que(S))2 do not transform, whereas VO(mor)2/VO(mor(S))2 give the partial formation of mixed species with hemoglobin (Hb) and other V(IV)O complexes.

Abstract
The coordination mode and geometry in aqueous solution of oxidovanadium(IV) complexes formed by a third-generation cephalosporin, ceftriaxone (H3cef), were studied by spectroscopic (EPR, electron paramagnetic resonance), pH-potentiometric and computational (DFT, density functional theory) methods. The behavior of the model systems containing 6-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-5(2H)-one (H2hmtdt) and 3-benzylthio-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-5(2H)-one (Hbhmt) was examined for comparison. The stability of the tautomers of ceftriaxone and 6-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-5(2H)-one in the neutral, mono- and bi-anionic form was calculated by DFT methods, both in the gas phase and in aqueous solution, and the electron density on the oxygen atoms of the hydroxytriazinone ring was related to the pKa of the ligands. The data demonstrate that ceftriaxone coordinates V(IV)O(2+) forming mono- and bis-chelated complexes with (Oket, O(-)) donor set and formation of five-membered chelate rings. The geometry of the bis-chelated complex, cis-[VO(Hcef)2(H2O)](2-), is cis-octahedral and this species can deprotonate, around physiological pH, to form the corresponding mono-hydroxido cis-[VO(Hcef)2(OH)](3-). The interaction of cis-[VO(Hcef)2(H2O)](2-) with apo-transferrin (apo-hTf) was studied and the results suggest that V(IV)O(2+) distributes between (VO)apo-hTf/(VO)2apo-hTf and cis-[VO(Hcef)2(H2O)](2-), whereas mixed complexes are not formed for charge and steric effects. The interaction of cis-[VO(Hcef)2(H2O)](2-) with red blood cells shows that ceftriaxone helps V(IV)O(2+) ion to cross the erythrocyte membrane. Inside the cell cis-[VO(Hcef)2(H2O)](2-) decomposes and the same species formed by inorganic V(IV)O(2+) are observed. The relationship between the biotransformation in the plasma and red blood cells and the potential pharmacological activity of V(IV)O(2+) species of ceftriaxone is finally discussed.

Abstract
This study presents the first systematic investigation of the anti-diabetic properties of non-oxido V(IV) complexes. In particular, the insulin-mimetic activity of [V(IV)(taci)2](4+), [V(IV)(inoH-3)2](2-), [V(IV)(dhab)2], [V(IV)(hyph(Ph))2], [V(IV)(cat)3](2-) and [V(IV)(pdbh)2]--where taci is 1,3,5-triamino-1,3,5-trideoxy-cis-inositol, ino is cis-inositol, H2dhab is 2,2'-dihydroxyazobenzene, H2hyph(Ph) is 3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, H2cat is catechol and H2pdbh is pentan-2,4-dione benzoylhydrazone--was evaluated in terms of free fatty acid (FFA) release. Among the six compounds examined, only [V(IV)(pdbh)2], [V(IV)(cat)3](2-) and [V(IV)(hyph(Ph))2], which at the physiological pH convert to the corresponding V(IV)O complexes, were found to exhibit a significant insulin-mimetic activity compared to VOSO4. In contrast, [V(taci)2](4+), [V(inoH-3)2](2-) and [V(dhab)2], which at pH 7.4 keep their 'bare' non-oxido structure, did not cause any inhibition of FFA. The results, therefore, suggest that a V(IV)O functionality is necessary for vanadium complexes to exhibit anti-diabetic effects. This agrees with the notion that the biotransformations of V compounds in the organism are more important than the nature of the species.

The interaction of V(IV)O(2+) ion with hemoglobin (Hb) was studied with the combined application of spectroscopic (EPR), spectrophotometric (UV-vis), and computational (DFT methods) techniques. Binding of Hb to V(IV)O(2+) in vitro was proved, and three unspecific sites (named α, β, and γ) were characterized, with the probable coordination of His-N, Asp-O(-), and Glu-O(-) donors. The value of log β for (VO)Hb is 10.4, significantly lower than for human serum apo-transferrin (hTf). In the systems with V(IV)O potential antidiabetic compounds, mixed species cis-VOL2(Hb) (L = maltolate (ma), 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinonate (dhp)) are observed with equatorial binding of an accessible His residue, whereas no ternary complexes are observed with acetylacetonate (acac). The experiments of uptake of [VO(ma)2], [VO(dhp)2], and [VO(acac)2] by red blood cells indicate that the neutral compounds penetrate the erythrocyte membrane through passive diffusion, and percent amounts higher than 50% are found in the intracellular medium. The biotransformation of [VO(ma)2], [VO(dhp)2], and [VO(acac)2] inside the red blood cells was proved. [VO(dhp)2] transforms quantitatively in cis-VO(dhp)2(Hb), [VO(ma)2] in cis-VO(ma)2(Hb), and cis-VO(ma)2(Cys-S(-)), with the equatorial coordination of a thiolate-S(-) of GSH or of a membrane protein, and [VO(acac)2] in the binary species (VO)xHb and two V(IV)O complexes with formulation VO(L(1),L(2)) and VO(L(3),L(4)), where L(1), L(2), L(3), and L(4) are red blood cell bioligands. The results indicate that, in the studies on the transport of a potential pharmacologically active V species, the interaction with red blood cells and Hb cannot be neglected, that a distribution between the erythrocytes and plasma is achieved, and that these processes can significantly influence the effectiveness of a V drug.

Abstract
The interaction of VO(2+) ion and four insulin-enhancing compounds, [VO(ma)2], [VO(dhp)2], [VO(acac)2], and cis-[VO(pic)2(H2O)], where Hma, Hdhp, Hacac, and Hpic are maltol, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone, acetylacetone, and picolinic acid, with holo-transferrin (holo-hTf) was studied through the combined application of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and density functional theory (DFT) methods. Since in holo-hTf all of the specific binding sites of transferrin are saturated by Fe(3+) ions, VO(2+) can interact with surface sites (here named sites C), probably via the coordination of His-N, Asp-COO(-), and Glu-COO(-) donors. In the ternary systems with the insulin-enhancing compounds, mixed species are observed with Hma, Hdhp, and Hpic with the formation of VOL2(holo-hTf), explained through the interaction of cis-[VOL2(H2O)] (L = ma, dhp) or cis-[VOL2(OH)](-) (L = pic) with an accessible His residue that replaces the monodentate H2O or OH(-) ligand. The residues of His-289, His-349, His-473, and His-606 seem the most probable candidates for the complexation of the cis-VOL2 moiety. The lack of a ternary complex with Hacac was attributed to the square-pyramidal structure of [VO(acac)2], which does not possess equatorial sites that can be replaced by the surface His-N. Since holo-transferrin is recognized by the transferrin receptor, the formation of ternary complexes between VO(2+) ion, a ligand L(-), and holo-hTf may be a way to transport vanadium compounds inside the cells.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) methods were used to simulate the environment of vanadium in several V proteins, such as vanadyl-substituted carboxypeptidase (sites A and B), vanadyl-substituted chloroplast F(1)-ATPase (CF(1); site 3), the reduced inactive form of vanadium bromoperoxidase (VBrPO; low- and high-pH sites), and vanadyl-substituted imidazole glycerol phosphate dehydratase (IGPD; sites α, β, and γ). Structural, electron paramagnetic resonance, and electron spin echo envelope modulation parameters were calculated and compared with the experimental values. All the simulations were performed in water within the framework of the polarizable continuum model. The angular dependence of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on the dihedral angle θ between the V=O and N-C bonds and on the angle φ between the V=O and V-N bonds, where N is the coordinated aromatic nitrogen atom, was also found. From the results it emerges that it is possible to model the active site of a vanadium protein through DFT methods and determine its structure through the comparison between the calculated and experimental spectroscopic parameters. The calculations confirm that the donor sets of sites B and A of vanadyl-substituted carboxypeptidase are [[Formula: see text], H(2)O, H(2)O, H(2)O] and [N(His)(||), N(His)(⊥), [Formula: see text], H(2)O], and that the donor set of site 3 of CF(1)-ATPase is [[Formula: see text], OH(Thr), H(2)O, H(2)O, [Formula: see text]]. For VBrPO, the coordination modes [N(His)(||), N(His)(∠), OH(Ser), H(2)O, H(2)O(ax)] for the low-pH site and [N(His)(||), N(His)(∠), OH(Ser), OH(-), H(2)O(ax)] or [N(His)(||), N(His)(∠), [Formula: see text], H(2)O] for the high-pH site, with an imidazole ring of histidine strongly displaced from the equatorial plane, can be proposed. Finally, for sites α, β, and γ of IGPD, the subsequent deprotonation of one, two, and three imidazole rings of histidine and the participation of a carboxylate group of a glutamate residue ([N(His)(||), [Formula: see text], H(2)O, H(2)O], [N(His)(||), N(His)(||), [Formula: see text], H(2)O], and [N(His)(||), N(His)(||), [Formula: see text], OH(-), [Formula: see text]], respectively) seems to be the most plausible hypothesis.

Abstract
The behaviour of the systems formed by VO(2+), 2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxide (Hhpo) and 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide (Hmpo) was studied both in solution and in the solid state through the combined application of spectroscopic (EPR and UV-Vis spectroscopy) and DFT methods. The geometry of solid bis-chelated complexes [VOL(2)], with L = hpo and mpo, is square pyramidal, but it can change to cis-[VOL(2)S], where S is a solvent molecule, when these are dissolved in a coordinating solvent. The equilibrium between the square pyramidal and cis-octahedral forms is strongly affected by solvent and temperature. At room temperature, the predominant species is [VOL(2)], which gives a pink colour to the solutions; at lower temperatures, the equilibrium is shifted--partially or completely--toward the formation of cis-[VOL(2)S], which is green. In an acidic environment and in the presence of an excess of ligand, [VOL(2)] can transform into the tris-chelated complex [VL(3)](+), in which vanadium loses the oxido ligand and adopts a hexa-coordinated geometry intermediate between octahedral and trigonal prismatic. 1-Methylimidazole (1-MeIm), which represents a model for His-N coordination, forms mixed complexes with stoichiometry cis-[VOL(2)(1-MeIm)], occupying an equatorial position. In the ternary systems VO(2+)-Hhpo-hTf and VO(2+)-Hmpo-hTf at room temperature and pH 7.4, besides (VO)hTf and (VO)(2)hTf, the mixed species cis-VO(hpo)(2)(hTf) and VO(mpo)(hTf) are observed, with the equatorial binding of an accessible histidine residue. Finally, the contribution of the N-oxide group to (51)V A(z) and A(iso) hyperfine coupling constants, which can be important in the characterisation of similar species, is discussed.

Abstract
The fragments of rat amylin rIAPP(17-29) (Ac-VRSSNNLGPVLPP-NH(2)), rIAPP(17-22) (Ac-VRSSNN-NH(2)), rIAPP(19-22) (Ac-SSNN-NH(2)) and rIAPP(17-20) (Ac-VRSS-NH(2)) together with the related mutant peptides (Ac-VASS-NH(2) and Ac-VRAA-NH(2)) have been synthesized and their copper(II) complexes studied by potentiometric, UV-Vis, CD and EPR spectroscopic methods. Despite the lack of any common strongly coordinating donor functions some of these fragments are able to bind copper(II) ions in the physiological pH range. The longest fragment rat amylin(17-29) keeps one equivalent copper(II) ion in solution in the whole pH range, while two other peptides Ac-VRSSNN-NH(2) and Ac-SSNN-NH(2) are also able to interact with copper(II) ions in the slightly alkaline pH range. According to the spectral parameters of the complexes, the peptides can be classified into two different categories: (i) the tetrapeptides Ac-VRSS-NH(2), Ac-VASS-NH(2) and Ac-VRAA-NH(2) can interact with copper(II) only under strongly alkaline conditions (pH > 10.0) and the formation of only one species with four amide nitrogen coordination can be detected; (ii) the peptides Ac-VRSSNNLGPVLPP-NH(2), Ac-VRSSNN-NH(2) and Ac-SSNN-NH(2) can form complexes above pH 6.0 with the major stoichiometries [CuH(-2)L], [CuH(-3)L](-) and [CuH(-4)L](2-). These data support that rIAPP(17-29) can interact with copper(II) ions under physiological conditions and the SSNN tetrapeptide fragment can be considered as the shortest sequence responsible for metal binding. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide some information on the possible coordination modes of Ac-SSNN-NH(2) towards the copper(II) ion and suggest that for [CuH(-2)L], [CuH(-3)L](-) and [CuH(-4)L](2-), the binding of two, three and four deprotonated amide nitrogens, with NH(-) of the side chain of asparagine as anchoring group, is probable. Moreover, these data reveal that peptides can be effective metal binding ligands even in the absence of anchoring groups, if more polar side chains are present in a specific sequence.

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations of the (51)V hyperfine coupling (HFC) tensor A, have been completed for eighteen V(IV)O(2+) complexes with different donor set, electric charge and coordination geometry. A tensor was calculated with ORCA software with several functionals and basis sets taking into account the spin-orbit coupling contribution. The results were compared with those obtained with Gaussian 03 software using the half-and-half functional BHandHLYP and 6-311g(d,p) basis set. The order of accuracy of the functionals in the prediction of A(iso), A(z) and dipolar term A(z,anis) is BHandHLYP > PBE0 >> B3PW > TPSSh >> B3LYP >> BP86 > VWN5 (for A(iso)), BHandHLYP > PBE0 >> B3PW > TPSSh > B3LYP >> BP86 > VWN5 (for A(z)), B3LYP > PBE0 ∼ B3PW ∼ BHandHLYP >> TPSSh > BP86 ∼ VWN5 (for A(z,anis)). The good agreement in the prediction of A(z) with BHandHLYP is due to a compensation between the overestimation of A(iso) and underestimation of A(z,anis) (A(z) = A(iso) + A(z,anis)), whereas among the hybrid functionals PBE0 performs better than the other ones. BHandHLYP functional and Gaussian software are recommended when the V(IV)O(2+) species contains only V-O and/or V-N bonds, whereas PBE0 functional and ORCA software for V(IV)O(2+) complexes with one or more V-S bonds. Finally, the application of these methods to the coordination environment of V(IV)O(2+) ion in V-proteins, like vanadyl-substituted insulin, carbonic anhydrase, collagen and S-adenosylmethionine synthetase, was discussed.

Abstract
Since 2002, there has been a paradigm shift in the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fractures. The focus now is on preventing fragility fractures and their associated complications rather than on treating low bone mineral density. Evidence shows that many patients with fractures do not undergo appropriate assessment or treatment. It is important to have an integrated approach in the overall patient management in order to address this care gap for high-risk patients.

Abstract
Complexation of VO(2+) ion with the most abundant class of human immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin G (IgG), was studied using EPR spectroscopy. Differently from the data in the literature which report no interaction of IgG with vanadium, in the binary system VO(2+)/IgG at least three sites with comparable strength were revealed. These sites, named 1, 2, and 3, seem to be not specific, and the most probable candidates for metal ion coordination are histidine-N, aspartate-O or glutamate-O, and serinate-O or threoninate-O. The mean value for the association constant of (VO)(x)IgG, with x = 3-4, is log β = 10.3 ± 1.0. Examination of the ternary systems formed by VO(2+) with IgG and human serum transferrin (hTf) and human serum albumin (HSA) allows one to find that the order of complexing strength is hTf ≫ HSA ≈ IgG. The behavior of the ternary systems with IgG and one insulin-enhancing agent, like [VO(6-mepic)(2)], cis-[VO(pic)(2)(H(2)O)], [VO(acac)(2)], and [VO(dhp)(2)], where 6-mepic, pic, acac, and dhp indicate the deprotonated forms of 6-methylpicolinic and picolinic acids, acetylacetone, and 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone, is very similar to the corresponding systems with albumin. In particular, at the physiological pH value, VO(6-mepic)(IgG)(OH), cis-VO(pic)(2)(IgG), and cis-VO(dhp)(2)(IgG) are formed. In such species, IgG coordinates nonspecifically VO(2+) through an imidazole-N belonging to a histidine residue exposed on the protein surface. For cis-VO(dhp)(2)(IgG), log β is 25.6 ± 0.6, comparable with that of the analogous species cis-VO(dhp)(2)(HSA) and cis-VO(dhp)(2)(hTf). Finally, with these new values of log β, the predicted percent distribution of an insulin-enhancing VO(2+) agent between the high molecular mass (hTf, HSA, and IgG) and low molecular mass (lactate) components of the blood serum at physiological conditions is calculated.

Abstract
The previously unreported equilibrium in aqueous solution between the V(IV)O square pyramidal and trans octahedral form with an axial water molecule for a number of bidentate ligands with (N,O) and (O,O) donor sets (6-methylpicolinic (6-mepicH) and 6-methyl-2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic (6-me-2,3-pdcH(2)) acids, dipyridin-2-ylmethanol (Hdpmo) and 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone (Hdhp)) has been demonstrated by the combined application of EPR spectroscopy and DFT methods. The EPR spectra suggest that, with increasing ionic strength, the equilibrium is shifted towards the formation of the pentacoordinated species and values of K approximately 4.0 and 7.0 for the systems containing 6-methyl-2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and dipyridin-2-ylmethanol were measured. DFT calculations performed with Gaussian 03 and ORCA software predict the (51)V anisotropic hyperfine coupling constant along the z axis (A(z)), which can be used to demonstrate the presence of an axially bound ligand trans to the V=O bond. The results suggest that an axial donor (charged or not) can lower |A(z)|, in contrast to what was previously believed on the basis of the "additivity rule", and this explains the anomalous behaviour of the V(IV)O complexes formed by N-{2-[(2-pyridylmethylene)amino]phenyl}pyridine-2-carboxamide (Hcapca) and several amidrazone derivatives. The decrease in |A(z)| for the axial binding of a solvent molecule is mainly a result of the reduction of |A(iso)| and this was also observed when the solid [VO(6-methylpicolinato)(2)] was dissolved in DMSO or DMF. The variations in the structural (V=O, V-O and V-N distances, O-V-O and N-V-N angles, and the trigonality index tau) and spectroscopic (|A(z)|, |A(iso)| and nu(V=O)) properties as a function of the axial V-OH(2) distance (R) are also presented. Finally, the electronic structures of the penta- and hexacoordinated complexes are discussed.

Abstract
The complexation of the VO(2+) ion in several systems that can model the physiological conditions of its transport in blood serum was studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Particularly, the ternary systems formed by (i) VO(2+) and two high-molecular-mass components of blood serum, human serum apo-transferrin (hTf) and human serum albumin (HSA); (ii) VO(2+), hTf, and bL; and (iii) VO(2+), HSA, and bL, where bL is one of the six most important low-molecular-mass bioligands of the blood serum (bL = lactate, citrate, oxalate, phosphate, glycine, or histidine), were examined. The results indicate that, in aqueous solution, transferrin is a stronger binder than albumin, and at the physiological ratio, most of the VO(2+) ion is present as (VO)(2)hTf, and a small amount as (VO)(2)(d)HSA, the dinuclear species formed by albumin where the two metal ions are interacting and the spin state S is 1. Among the bL ligands, only lactate and citrate are able to bind VO(2+) in the presence of transferrin or albumin, the others not interacting at all. Finally, the quaternary systems formed by (i) VO(2+), hTf, HSA, and lactate and (ii) VO(2+), hTf, HSA, and citrate were studied. In these cases, the results suggest that the predominant species is (VO)(2)hTf, followed by the mixed complexes VO(2+)-hTf-lactate or VO(2+)-hTf-citrate, whereas (VO)(2)(d)HSA and [(VO)(2)(citrH(-1))(2)](4-) are minor components at physiological pH. The conclusions of this study give new insights on how the VO(2+) ion distributes among the blood serum components and is transported in the plasma toward the target sites in the organism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is a chronic and progressive condition that leads to decreased bone mass and skeletal fragility which may result in fractures, disability, pain, deformity and even death. Fractures of the wrist are the most common symptomatic fracture related to osteoporosis in which up to 80% of the persons with this fracture type have low bone mass. External fixation is minimally-invasive and is used in particular for the treatment of displaced, unstable fractures. OBJECTIVE The present systematic review will present functional outcome assessment in randomized controlled trials in the aged with distal radius fractures and treated with external fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multiple databases including Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED and OVID Healthstar were searched. MESH headings such as: "Radius fractures" or "wrist injuries" were used in combination with "randomized controlled trials". Studies were included if the surgical treatment was external fixation, mean patient age was 50 years and over, and were in the English language. RESULTS The primary focus of wrist outcome assessments in patients treated with external fixation were based on traditional measures such as wrist range of movement and grip strength reflecting the need to shift the focus in future protocols towards measuring a patient's functional ability, measuring the difficulty of task performance and compensatory mechanisms. Furthermore, it is essential to take into account more evidence of instrument development before clinicians can reliably choose the best measure to assess the aged treated with external fixation.

Abstract
The complexation of VO(IV) ion with citrate (L3-), D-, L- and DL-tartrate (L2-) at high ligand to metal molar ratios was studied in aqueous solution through the combined application of potentiometric, spectroscopic (UV-vis and EPR) and electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) techniques. Unlike in equimolar solution, mononuclear and not dinuclear species are formed with the binding of carboxylate-COO- and alcoholate-O- donors yielding mono- and bis-chelated species with VOLH, VOL, VOLH(-1) and VOL2H(-2) composition; for tartrates also the "sugar-like" (O-, O-) coordination is involved in the vanadium binding at basic pH values giving rise to the formation of VOL2H(-3) and VOL2H(-4) complexes. Among the species formed, VOL2H(-2) is characterised by a strong distortion towards the trigonal bipyramid with the two V-O(alcoholate) bonds in the equatorial and the two V-O(carboxylate) bonds in the axial positions. The geometry and electronic absorption spectra of such complexes were simulated by DFT methods and it was found that in aqueous solution the distortion follows the steric hindrance of the substituents on the alpha-carbon atom and the hydrophobicity of the ligands. The results were compared with those displayed by simple alpha-hydroxycarboxylates (glycolate, 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, 2-ethyl-2-hydroxybutyrate and benzilate). The trigonal bipyramidal distortion was correlated with the values of: i) Deltalambda = lambda2-lambda3, where lambda2 and lambda3 are the central bands in the electronic absorption spectrum; ii) |A(x)-A(y)|, where A(x) and A(y) are the 51V hyperfine coupling constants along the x and y axes in the anisotropic EPR spectrum; iii) the half-wave potential E(1/2) of oxidation of VO(IV) to the corresponding VO2(V) species in the cyclic voltammogram. Finally, a discussion on the possible form of VO(IV)-citrate complexes in blood serum is presented, where it is found that the most relevant species under physiological conditions should be [VO(citrH(-1))]2-.

Abstract
A 31-mer polypeptide, which encompasses residues 84-114 of human prion protein HuPrP(84-114) and contains three histidyl residues, namely one from the octarepeat (His85) and two histidyl residues from outside the octarepeat region (His96 and His111), and its mutants with two histidyl residues HuPrP(84-114)His85Ala, HuPrP(84-114) His96Ala, HuPrP(84-114)His111Ala and HuPrP(91-115) have been synthesised and their Cu2+ complexes studied by potentiometric and spectroscopic (UV/Vis, CD, EPR, ESI-MS) techniques. The results revealed a high Cu2+-binding affinity of all peptides, and the spectroscopic studies made it possible to clarify the coordination mode of the peptides in the different complex species. The imidazole nitrogen donor atoms of histidyl residues are the exclusive metal-binding sites below pH 5.5, and they have a preference for macrochelate structure formation. The deprotonation and metal-ion coordination of amide functions take place by increasing the pH; all of the histidines can be considered to be independent metal-binding sites in these species. As a consequence, di- and trinuclear complexes can be present even in equimolar samples of the metal ion and peptides, but the ratios of polynuclear species do not exceed the statistically expected ones; this excludes the possibility of cooperative Cu2+ binding. The species with a (N(im),N,N)-binding mode are favoured around pH 7, and their stability is enhanced by the macrochelation from another histidyl residue in the mononuclear complexes. The independence of the histidyl sites results in the existence of coordination isomers and the preference for metal binding follows the order of: His111>His96>His85. Deprotonation and metal-ion coordination of the third amide functions were detected in slightly alkaline solutions at each of the metal-binding sites; all had a (N(im),N,N,N)-coordination mode. Spectroscopic measurements also made it clear that the four lysyl amino groups of the peptides are not metal-binding sites in any cases.

Abstract
The short term (up to 14 days after restoration) release of selected ions (i.e., Hg(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+)) from Dispersalloy into artificial saliva has been evaluated in regards to the nature of the saliva (Fusayama and McCarty and Shklar's solutions), the amount of amalgam, the time of contact and the periodical renewal (every 48 h interval) of artificial saliva. The evaluation of the ionic fraction of such metals has been accomplished by using anodic stripping methods (i.e., Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry, DPASV) with a 7 microm graphite disk microelectrode as a working electrode. Data obtained in this work are almost unprecedented in the literature due the fact that such analytical method exclude metals in non-ionic forms (e.g., metals or organometallic compounds). The high concentrations measured in every experimental condition confirm the concern for the short-term release of metals from amalgam into saliva.

Abstract
An abnormal interaction between copper and the prion protein is believed to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of prion diseases. Copper binding has been mainly attributed to the N-terminal domain of the prion protein, but this hypothesis has recently been challenged in some papers which suggest that the C-terminal domain might also compete for metal anchoring. In particular, the segment corresponding to the helix II region of the prion protein, namely PrP180-193, has been shown both to bind copper and to exhibit a copper-enhanced cytotoxicity, as well as to interact with artificial membranes. The present work is aimed at extending these results by choosing the most representative model of this domain and by determining its copper affinity. With this aim, the different role played by the electrostatic properties of the C- and N-termini of PrP180-193 (VNITIKQHTVTTTT) in determining its conformational behaviour, copper coordination and ability to perturb model membranes was investigated. Owing to the low solubility of PrP180-193, its copper affinity was evaluated by using the shorter PrPAc184-188NH2 (IKQHT) analogue as a model. ESI-MS, ESR, UV/Vis, and CD measurements were carried out on the copper(II)/PrPAc184-188NH2 and copper(II)/PrP180-193NH2 systems, and showed that PrPAc184-188NH2 is a reliable model for the metal interaction with the helix II domain. The affinity of copper(II) for the helix II fragment is higher than that for the octarepeat and PrP106-126 peptides. Finally, the different ability of PrP180-193 analogues to perturb the DPPC model membrane was assessed by DSC measurements. The possible biological consequences of these findings are also discussed briefly.

Abstract
The complex formation of vanadium(IV) with cis-inositol (ino) and the corresponding trimethyl ether 1,3,5-trideoxy-1,3,5-trimethoxy-cis-inositol (tmci) was studied in aqueous solution and in the solid-state. With increasing pH, the formation of [VO(H-2L)], [(VO)2L2H-5]-, [VO(H-3L)]- (L = ino) or [(VO)2L2H-6]2- (L = tmci), [V(H-3L)2]2-, and [VO(H-3L)(OH)2]3- was observed. For the vanadium(IV)/ino system, [(VO)2L2H-7]3- was observed as an additional dinuclear species. The formation constants of these complexes were determined by potentiometric titrations (25 degrees C, 0.1 M KCl). In addition, the vanadium(IV)/ino system was investigated by means of UV-vis spectrophotometric methods. EPR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry confirmed this complexation scheme. EPR measurements indicated the formation of three distinct isomers of the non-oxo complex [V(H-3ino)2]2- in weakly basic solution. This type of isomerism, which is not observed for the vanadium(IV)/tmci system, was assigned to the ability of ino to bind the vanadium(IV) center with three alkoxo groups having either a 1,3,5-triaxial or an 1,2,3-axial-equatorial-axial arrangement. The structures of [V(H-3ino)2][K2(ino)2].4H2O (1) and [Na6V(H-3ino)2](SO4)2.6H2O (2) were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In both compounds, the coordination of each ino molecule to the vanadium(IV) center via three axial deprotonated oxygen donors was confirmed. The centrosymmetric structure of the coordination spheres corresponds to an almost regular octahedral geometry with a twist angle of 60 degrees. The crystal structure of the potassium complex 1 represents an unusual 1:1 packing of [V(H-3ino)2]2- dianions and [K2(ino)2]2+ dications, in which both K+ ions have a coordination number of nine and are bonded simultaneously to a 1,3,5-triaxial and an 1,2,3-axial-equatorial-axial site of ino. In 2, the [V(H-3ino)2]2- complexes are surrounded by six Na+ counterions that are bonded to the axial alkoxo oxygens and to the equatorial hydroxy oxygens of the cis-inositolato moieties. The six Na+ centers are further interlinked by bridging sulfate ions. According to EPR spectroscopy, the D3d symmetric structure of the [V(H-3ino)2]2- anion is retained in H2O, in dimethylformamide, and in a mixture of CHCl3/toluene 60:40 v/v.
