The cobaltic hexammine ion, Co(NH3)63+ seems to form a salt linkage with a disaccharide unit of heparin. Cobalt-heparin is insoluble in the usual solvents but is soluble in salt solutions of high ionic strength (0.6) and the cobalt ion can be removed from the heparin by dialysis in such salt solutions. The in vivo anticoagulant activity of cobalt-heparin complex is 93 to 95% that of heparin itself. On a weight for weight basis, the complex would be expected to have an activity of about 76% that of heparin. This may indicate that the complex causes the release of endogenous heparin.
