Effect of lipid shell composition in DSPG-based microbubbles on blood flow imaging with ultrasonography
International Journal of Pharmaceutics(2020)
摘要
Diagnostic ultrasound is non-invasive and provides real-time imaging. Microbubbles (MBs) are ultrasound contrast agents used to observe small blood flow, such as tumor tissue. However, MBs have short blood flow imaging time. This study developed lipid-based microbubbles (LMBs) with longer blood flow imaging time by focusing on their shell composition. Liposome research reported that addition 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (DSPG) to the lipid composition enhances liposome membrane stability. Therefore, we introduced DSPG at different ratios into the LMBs lipid shell. Results showed that the lipid shell composition of MBs affects stability in vivo. 60% DSPG-containing LMBs (DSPG60-LMBs) have sustained blood flow imaging time compared with LMBs, which have other DSPG ratios, Sonazoid (R) and SonoVue (R). DSPG60-LMBs also showed less uptake into the liver compared with Sonazoid (R). Therefore, DSPG60-LMBs can have long blood flow imaging time and can be effective diagnostic agents in ultrasound imaging.
