Criticality of Surface Characteristics of Intravenous Iron–Carbohydrate Nanoparticle Complexes: Implications for Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics

Un-complexed polynuclear ferric oxyhydroxide cannot be administered safely or effectively to patients. When polynuclear iron cores are formed with carbohydrates of various structures, stable complexes with surface carbohydrates driven by multiple interacting sites and forces are formed. These comple...
