What is DECAFLUOROBUTANE?
The Uses of DECAFLUOROBUTANE
Ultrasound contrast agent intended for assessing myocardial perfusion in patients with coronary artery disease.
Background
Perflubutane has been used in trials studying the diagnostic of Liver Mass, Liver Diseases, Liver Metastasis, Portal Hypertension, and Peripheral Artery Disease. It is a cardiovascular drug designed to enable ultrasound to compete more effectively with nuclear stress testing; currently the leading procedure for detecting coronary heart disease.
Definition
ChEBI: Perflubutane is a fluorocarbon that is butane in which all of the hydrogens have been replaced by fluorines. Microbubbles of preflubutane are used in the ultrasound contrast agent BR14. It has a role as an ultrasound contrast agent. It is a gas molecular entity, a fluorocarbon and a fluoroalkane.
