Ferumoxytol consists of a superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) core, which causes T1, T2 and T2* shortening effects, and a carbohydrate shell, which results in a prolonged intravascular half life.
The carbohydrate shell aids to isolate the iron from the plasma components until it is taken up by the reticuloendothelial system of the spleen, bone marrow, and especially liver (up to 70% of injected dose).
Ferumoxytol is a haematinic agent that consists of an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) core coated with a carbohydrate shell to help isolate the bioactive iron from plasma elements until it is taken up by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) macrophages of the liver, spleen and bone marrow [1].
The pharmaceutical composition of ferumoxytol (SPIO encased in carbohydrate shell) results in a prolonged circulating half-life (14 15 h) in the intravascular space (blood pool), which can alter the relaxivity characteristics of the blood pool for days to months [5].
Considerable variety exists with regard to the carbohydrate shell that surrounds the central iron molecule in each intravenous iron preparation.
43, 45, 46 A series of i.v. iron complexes has been developed which enclose an iron-containing core within a carbohydrate shell, stabilizing the structure and controlling the release of iron.
