Iron sucrose Other names: Saccharated iron oxide Iron oxide saccharated Iron sucrose complex Sucroferric oxyhydroxide Ferric hydroxide sucrose complex Saccharated ferric oxide

Molecular mass: 866.546 g/mol  PubChem compound: 91663255

Active ingredient description

Iron sucrose is composed of a polynuclear iron(III)-hydroxide core surrounded by a large number of non-covalently bound sucrose molecules. The polynuclear iron core has a structure similar to that of the core of the physiological iron storage protein ferritin. The complex is designed to provide, in a controlled manner, utilisable iron for the iron transport and storage proteins in the body (i.e., transferrin and ferritin, respectively).
