Correction: Funk et al. Criticality of Surface Characteristics of Intravenous Iron-Carbohydrate Nanoparticle Complexes: Implications for Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2022, 23, 2140

The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:

In the original publication, there were wrong reference citations in paragraph 7 of Section 2.2 and Table 4 as published.

In Section 2.2, paragraph 7, “Ferumoxytol contains 30 mg of iron/mL. The complex is an iron oxide coated with polyglucose sorbitol carboxymethylether. The chemical formula of ferumoxytol is Fe₅₈₇₄O₈₇₅₂-C₁₁₇₁₉H₁₈₆₈₂O₉₉₃₃Na₄₁₄ [24]” should be replaced with “Ferumoxytol contains 30 mg of iron/mL. The complex is an iron oxide coated with polyglucose sorbitol carboxymethylether [25]. The chemical formula of ferumoxytol is Fe₅₈₇₄O₈₇₅₂-C₁₁₇₁₉H₁₈₆₈₂O₉₉₃₃Na₄₁₄ [26]”.

In Table 4, the reference numbers did not correspond with the correct numbers in the reference list. The corrected Table 4 appears below:
