Monoferric is an iron replacement product containing ferric derisomaltose for intravenous infusion. Ferric derisomaltose is an iron carbohydrate complex with a matrix structure composed of interchanging layers of ferric hydroxide and the carbohydrate derisomaltose. Derisomaltose consists of linear, hydrogenated isomaltooligosaccharides with an average molecular weight of 1000 Da and a narrow molecular weight distribution that is almost devoid of mono- and disaccharides. Ferric derisomaltose has an average molecular weight of 155,000 Da and has the following empirical formula: {FeO (1-3X) (OH) (1+3X) (C 6 H 5 O 7 3- ) X }, (H 2 0) T , - (C 6 H 10 O 6 ) R (-C 6 H 10 O 5 -) Z (C 6 H 13 O 5 ) R , (NaCl) Y X = 0.0311; T = 0.25; R = 0.14; Z = 0.49; Y = 0.14 Iron atoms placed in the electronegative cavities of the 3-D structure between and within the derisomaltose molecules. A schematic representation is presented below Monoferric is a sterile, dark brown, non-transparent aqueous solution with pH 5.0-7.0, containing ferric derisomaltose dissolved in water for injections and filled into Type I glass vials. Each 1 mL of solution contains 100 mg of elemental iron as ferric derisomaltose in water for injection, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide may be used to adjust pH. Image
