Ferric citrate

Description:

Ferric citrate, with the CAS number 3522-50-7, is a chemical compound that consists of iron in its +3 oxidation state (ferric) combined with citrate, a tricarboxylic acid derived from citric acid. It typically appears as a reddish-brown powder or granules and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various applications. Ferric citrate is primarily utilized as a dietary supplement to provide iron, particularly for individuals with iron deficiency anemia. It is also employed in the food industry as a colorant and as a source of iron in fortified foods. Additionally, ferric citrate has applications in pharmaceuticals and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. The compound is generally recognized as safe when used appropriately, but excessive intake can lead to gastrointestinal disturbances and other health issues. Its stability and solubility make it a versatile compound in both nutritional and industrial contexts.

Ferric citrate is a pharmaceutical agent that contains iron as the active ingredient and is used to treat iron deficiency. Ferric citrate is taken orally, and it binds to ferric ions in the stomach and intestine which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. The iron then binds to transferrin in the blood, which carries it to cells throughout the body. Ferric citrate has been shown to have inhibitory properties on basic fibroblast cells. It inhibits transcriptional regulation by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication of DNA. The optimum concentration of ferric citrate for this effect is between 0.1 mM and 1 mM.
