Calcineurin (CN) is a major calmodulin binding serine/threonine phosphatase which plays a crucial role in numerous mammalian signal transduction pathways. Calcineurin inhibitors represent a valuable tool for elucidating CN dependent cellular processes. The present work deals with the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of a new polymer anchored peroxo niobium complex, Nb-2(O-2)(6)(carboxylate)(2)]-PA (Nb-2) PA=poly(sodium acrylate)], and identification of a set comprising of neat homoleptic as well as polymer immobilized peroxo complexes of vanadium(V) and niobium(V) as potent CN inhibitors. The in-vitro effect of the complexes on calmodulin mediated dephosphorylation activity of CN was investigated using a physiological substrate of calcineurin, RII-phosphopeptide as well as a non-protein substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP). Enzyme kinetic analysis data revealed that the compounds inhibit function of CN via uncompetitive pathway with K-i values ranging between 1-3M, suggesting the formation of an enzyme-inhibitor-substrate complex during the course of inhibition.
