  <common_name>Ferric maltol</common_name>
  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Ferric maltol is an organoheterocyclic compound with the formula C18H15FeO9 and an average molecular weight of 431.15 g/mol. Ferric maltol belongs to the pyranones and derivatives, a subclass of pyrans within the organic compounds.

This compound is found in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, specifically as part of antianemic preparations, and is administered via the oral exposure route. In terms of biological activity, ferric maltol acts as a substrate for two recorded protein targets: natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2 (SLC11A2) and integrin beta-3 (ITGB3).</description>
