Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Perflubron(1-Bromoheptadecafluorooctane;Heptadecafluorooctyl bromide; Perfluorooctyl bromide) is a contrast medium for magnetic resonance imaging and sonography.
In vitro activity:
Alveolar macrophages were stimulated for 1 hr with lipopolysaccharide and then treated with perflubron for 23 hrs. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) and all of these cytokines were significantly (p < .05) inhibited by perflubron. Reference: Crit Care Med. 1997 Dec;25(12):2045-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9403756/
In vivo activity:
Corneal staining scores of DED (dry eye disease) rabbits respectively treated by ATS, PFOB@LIP-ATS, Tet-ATS and PFOB@LIP-Tet-ATS for seven days were 3.7±0.5, 3.2±0.4, 1.5±0.5 and 0.5±0.5. The expressions of related cytokines were correspondingly downregulated significantly, indicating that the inflammation of DED was successfully suppressed. The intraocular pressure changes of DED rabbits before and after treatment by PFOB@LIP-Tet showed no statistical significance.
