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.
