Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, serum iron, ferritin, and percent iron saturation all rise significantly after intravenous iron sucrose injection, whereas total iron binding capacity falls in tandem [1]. According to in vitro survival experiments, 40–80% of exponentially developing colon cancer cell lines (HCT116 and HT29) experienced clonal inactivation following a 2-hour exposure to 10 mM ascorbic acid. In comparison to pharmacological ascorbic acid alone, colon cancer cells treated with or without 250 µM sucrose iron showed higher amounts of labile iron after being rinsed and treated with 10 mM ascorbic acid. This led to a considerable increase in clonal cell death. 2]. through the activation of NF-κB signaling and NADPH oxidase (NOx) in human aortic endothelial cells treated with sucrose iron. Within 1 to 3 hours, HAECs produced more intracellular ROS at a concentration of 160 μg/mL due to the considerable time-dependent increase in ROS production, which lessened by 4 hours [3]. |
| ln Vivo | In subtotal nephrectomized animals, iron sucrose markedly boosted tissue superoxide generation, tissue cell adhesion molecule expression, and endothelium adhesion. In uninephrectomized ApoE-/-mice, iron sucrose exacerbates atherosclerosis in the aorta [3]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~7.14 mg/mL |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.71 mg/mL (Infinity mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 7.1 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
