Small-scale preparation of perfluorocarbon-nanoemulsions utilizing dual centrifugation.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Perfluorocarbon-nanoemulsions (PFC-NE) made of PFC and phospholipids (PL) by homogenization are optimal for in vivo-19F labelling of monocytes and subsequently of inflamed tissues in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Necessary requirements for in vivo use of PFC-NE are sterility, suitable droplet sizes and the absence of immune activating liposomes, which are a typical byproduct of the homogenization process. METHODS AND RESULTS:To meet these requirements, we developed an aseptic in-vial preparation technique for PFC-NE based on dual centrifugation (DC) by testing different PFC/phospholipid ratios as well as the application of additives. Two different PFC, perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB) and perfluoro-15-crown-5-ether (PFCE), were investigated. Particle sizes were assessed by dynamic light scattering and NE morphology by cryoTEM. DC homogenization was optimal when using an excess of PL (8.7 % (m/m) of utilized PFC, z-ave: 180 nm, pdi: 0.2). A purification approach by centrifugation was implemented to remove liposomes formed from the excess of PL during homogenization. The purification success was proven by phospholipid assay and PFC quantification via density and sound velocity measurements. CONCLUSION:DC in combination with a short centrifugation is a fast and reliable way of small-scale aseptic PFC-NE production for 19F MRI passive-targeting experiments of monocytes and inflamed tissues.
