AffiNANOTECH® Perfluorohexane

Availables Sizes: 50 mg, 100 mg, 250 mg.

Overview

Perfluorohexane (AF-0150) is an enhancement agent for high energy fluorohexane (HIFU) therapy, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of treatment and reduce the damage to surrounding normal tissues. When Perfluorohexane is exposed to the focused energy of HIFU, the local temperature rises, causing Perfluorohexane to change from a liquid to a gaseous state, forming bubbles. These bubbles can enhance the therapeutic effect of HIFU and promote tissue necrosis through mechanisms such as mechanical oscillation, cell membrane damage and free radical release. Perfluorohexane can be used for drug delivery systems and ultrasound imaging studies.
