Abstract: To treat patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, we developed several types of orally active vanadyl complexes to replace painful insulin injections, and prepared them in the form of enteric-coated capsules containing vanadium compounds. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that these capsules enhance the bioavailability of pharmacologically active vanadyl species.
