Perfluorocarbon distribution to liver, lung and spleen of emulsions of perfluorotributylamine (FTBA) in pigs and rats and perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) in rats and dogs by 19F NMR spectroscopy.
Perfluorocarbon emulsion (FCE) particles are reported to be taken up by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and ultimately eliminated by the lung. This distribution provides an opportunity to measure oxygen partial pressure in vivo with fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI). Since the MR image signal-to-noise ratio is directly proportional to the fluorine concentration in the tissue, a greater concentration of perfluorocarbon (PFC) in the tissue will result in a greater confidence in the oxygen image and reduce measurement time. It was postulated that the biodistribution of PFC administered in emulsion form may depend on species RES or FCE composition. The distribution of an emulsion (Oxypherol-E.T.) containing perfluorotributylamine (FTBA) 5 days after administration to pigs (11 g FTBA/kg body weight i.p.) and rats (19 g FTBA/kg i.p.) and an emulsion (Oxygent) containing perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) 7 days after administration to dogs (11 g PFOB/kg i.v.) and 5 days after administrations to rats (19 g PFOB/kg i.p.) was analyzed by F-19 NMR spectroscopy of tissue samples. PFC concentrations in spleen are 2 to 3 times those in liver. This pattern appears to be independent of PFC emulsion or species. In contrast, lung PFC content was less than that in the liver and showed a dependence upon both species and PFC emulsion.
