The chemistry of vanadium has seen remarkable activity in the past 50 years. In the present
review, reactions catalyzed by homogeneous and supported vanadium complexes from …

Vanadium compounds have been primarily investigated as potential therapeutic agents for
the treatment of various major health issues, including cancer, atherosclerosis, and …

Anticancer uses of non-oncology drugs have occasionally been found, but such discoveries
have been serendipitous. We sought to create a public resource containing the growth …

Metal ions play important roles in biological processes, 1 and the field of knowledge
concerned with the application of inorganic chemistry to therapy or diagnosis of disease is …

Lipid peroxidation (LPO), a process that affects human health, can be induced by exposure
to vanadium salts and compounds. LPO is often exacerbated by oxidation stress, with some …

Background Vanadium (V) is an element with a wide range of effects on the mammalian
organism. The ability of this metal to form organometallic compounds has contributed to the …

Vanadium is a transition metal that, being ubiquitously distributed in soil, crude oil, water
and air, also found roles in biological systems and is an essential element in most living …

Vanadium is special in at least two respects: on the one hand, the tetrahedral anion
vanadate (v) is similar to the phosphate anion; vanadate can thus interact with various …

Which elements are essential for human life? Here we make an element-by-element journey
through the periodic table and attempt to assess whether elements are essential or not, and …

Increased exposure to environmental heavy metals and metalloids and their associated
toxicities has become a major threat to human health. Hence, the association of these …
