Application

1-Bromoheptadecafluorooctane (perfluorooctyl bromide) can be used as contrast agent in the vascular system for fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging or as synthetic oxygen carrier. It was also employed as oxygen carrier in the emulsions used as blood substitutes.

General description

1-Bromoheptadecafluorooctane (perfluorooctyl bromide) is a perfluorocarbon. Poly(ethylene glycol)ylated polyester nanocapsules of perfluorooctyl bromide were surface-decorated with a RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) peptide, were used for tumor imaging. Nanocapsules of perfluorooctyl bromide have been developed as dual contrast agent for ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

PEGylated polyester nanocapsules of perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) were surface-decorated with a RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) peptide by either pre-functionalization or post-functionalization strategies using carbodiimide-assisted chemistry. Both strategies allowed successful linkage of RGD at the surface of nanocapsules with up to 600-950

The aim of this study was to assess the herceptin efficacy in ex vivo cultures of MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells. Herceptin was used with perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) and conjugated with lipoplex, containing plasmid DNA and lipofectamine (LipA), to allow fluorine-19

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of fluorine-19 allows for the mapping of oxygen partial pressure within perfluorocarbons in the alveolar space (Pao(2)). Theoretically, fMRI-detected Pao(2) can be combined with the Fick principle approach, i.e., a mass balance of oxygen uptake

To investigate the effect of temperature on the partition coefficient of isoflurane and sevoflurane in perflurocarbonate emulsion (Oxygent(TM)). The partition coefficients of isoflurane and sevoflurane in perflurocarbonate emulsion (Oxygent(TM)) were measured at different temperatures (4, 22, 27, 32 and 37
