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).

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.

Molecular imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) targeted contrast agents has emerged as a promising diagnostic approach in cancer research to detect associated biomarkers. In this work, the potential of (19)F MRI was investigated to detect angiogenesis with α(ν)β(3)-targeted perfluorooctylbromide
