双（麦芽糖基）氧钒（IV）是有效的胰岛素模拟物。结果表明，在所有给定剂量下，BMOV均可显着降低糖尿病大鼠的血浆葡萄糖水平，并使高血糖值恢复正常。双（麦芽糖基）氧钒（IV）抑制蛋白质酪氨酸磷酸酶。 Bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) is a potent insulin mimic. Results have shown that BMOV significantly decreases plasma glucose levels in diabetic rats at all given doses, and restores hyperglycemic values to normal. Bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatases.
