HEAT STABLE COLLOIDAL IRON OXIDES COATED WITH REDUCED CARBOHYDRATES AND CARBOHYDRATE DERIVATIVES

摘要

Compositions, methods of making the compositions, and methods of using the compositions are provided for an enhanced magnetic resonance imaging agent and a hematinic agent, the agents comprising carboxyalkylated reduced polysaccharides coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxides. Methods of use of the carboxymethyl reduced dextran as a plasma extender are provided.
