摘要

Vanadium compounds may be used as the active component in a pharmaceutical composition for the prophylactic treatment of secondary injury of tissue being induced by primary injury of mainly surrounding tissue, and being the result of a traumatic event. Preferred vanadium compounds include bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) or the corresponding bis(maltolato)oxovanadate salt.
