Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Diabetis is an uncurable disease and its treatment requires the live-long non-oral applicaton of insuline. Professor Orvig has developed orally active drugs which might revolutionize the treatment of diabetis. As early as 1990 he and his team developed the complex bsi(maltolato)oxovanadium(V) (BMOV) which contains the food additive maltol, a ligand which can coordinate and faciliate the absorption of vanadium after the complex is taken orally. After preliminary studies with diabetic rats, BMOV became the model substance for orally active, vanadium containing insuline mimetic drugs.
