The cerebroprotective effects of copper aspirinate [dimeric copper(II) bis(o-acetoxybenzoate)] were investigated in gerbils subjected to 10-min global cerebral ischemia followed b 60-min reperfusion. The results showed that intragastric copper aspirinate (7.5, 15.0 and 30.0 mg Kg−1 ) markedly promoted the recovery of the electroencephalogram amplitude, attenuated the increase of lipid peroxide content and the decrease of superoxide dismutase activity in the cortex during ischemia-reperfusion injury. It suggested that copper aspirinate possesses potential neuroprotective properties, the mechanism of which might be related to an increase of the activity of endogenous superoxide dismutase.

Antithrombotic effect of the copper-aspirin complex (dimeric copper(II) bis(o-acetoxybenzoate) was evaluated in the model of venous thrombosis; its effects on platelet-neutrophil adhesion were investigated by use of rosette assay. The results showed that the intragastrically administered copper-aspirin complex (5, 7, and 10 mg kg−1) dose-dependently lowered the wet and dry thrombus weight; it significantly decreased the binding of arachidonic acid-activated platelets to neutrophils with an IC50 value of 41.5 μmol L-1. The results suggested that copper aspirinate inhibited platelet-neutrophil adhesion and resulted in a more potent antithrombotic activity.

The distribution of copper in Sprague – Dawley rats following a three month oral administration of 0,10 or 50mg/kg copper aspirinate has been investigated. Metal content was determined by ICP – AES in blood, brain, kidney, liver, lung, spleen, and dejection. The results show that treatment with copper aspirinate did not cause accumulation of copper in rats and excess ingested copper was excreted through feces.
