It is seen that the amount of labile iron is prevented with ferric carboxymaltose and iron isomaltoside, which are the two most up-to-date iron compounds. I wonder if there is a special contribution of maltose derivatives biochemically.
Dear Muhamment, this is a very interesting technical question. The advantages of using iron isomaltoside and ferric carboxymaltose have been outlined in the following useful articles:
Assessment of dextran antigenicity of intravenous iron products by an immunodiffusion assay
Article Assessment of dextran antigenicity of intravenous iron produ...
and
Physico-chemical properties of the new generation IV iron preparations ferumoxytol, iron isomaltoside 1000 and ferric carboxymaltose

Both papers have been posted by the authors as public full texts on RG. Thus they can be freely downloaded as ppdf files.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your research and best wishes!
Ferric carboximalose medical preparation has low to no allergic or anaphylaxis reactions compared to ferric isomaltosdide (which is dextran actually) which for clinitians means no adverse events.
Prof. Edelmann thank you for your interest and response. I will read the links you shared. The growing interest in maltose for iron compounds is really intrigued.
