The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of novel mixed-metal complex [Cu(dmen)2][Fe(CN)5(NO)] (dmen=N,N-dimethylethylenediamine) (code KL447) on dynamics of serum iron and copper in the experimental anemia of rats. At the peak of anemia the serum iron levels were shown to decrease and the copper level – to increase and these retained during 20 days of the recovery period in the anemic group. KL447 increases serum iron and copper levels. These results indicate that the mixed-metal Cu/Fe complex causes the recovery of the serum iron levels and increases the serum copper levels in the experimental anemia of rats and it could be a potential substance for stimulation of erythropoiesis.
