Description
Iron-dextran (CAS: 9004-66-4) is a water-soluble, biocompatible complex formed by the reaction of iron (III) hydroxide with dextran (a natural polysaccharide) . It is a non-toxic, stable complex with no fixed molecular formula or molecular weight (depending on the molecular weight of the dextran component) . As a key iron supplement and intermediate, it is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, fine chemical production, animal nutrition and related fields, relying on its ability to provide bioavailable iron.
Synonyms
Iron dextran complex, Dextran-iron, Ferric dextran, Iron (III) -dextran complex, Dextran iron (III) hydroxide complex, Ferric hydroxide-dextran complex
