TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to compositions comprising highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, non-cyclic organic compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms and to processes of making and using them. More particularly, this invention relates to emulsions comprising those highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds. This invention also relates to emulsions comprising non-cyclic perfluorochloroethers having 7 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 7 to 9 carbon atoms. These novel emulsions have various medical and oxygen transport applications. They are especially useful medically as contrast media for various biological imaging modalities, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, ~9F-magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, x-ray, computed tomography and position emission tomography, as oxygen transport agents or "artificial bloods," in the treatment of heart attack, stroke, and other vascular obstructions, as adjuvants to coronary angioplasty and in cancer radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
~~.~~4~1 - 2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Highly fluorinated organic compounds, and particularly perfluorocarbon compounds, are well known to be both stable and chemically inert. During the past 20 years much attention has focused on the use of such compounds in biological systems because they are capable of dissolving and transporting large amounts of oxygen. These properties make them potentially useful as contrast media, oxygen transport agents or "artificial bloods", in the treatment of heart attack, stroke, and other vascular obstructions, as adjuvants to coronary angioplasty, and in cancer radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
Among the highly fluorinated organic compounds that are said to be useful in such applications are perfluorocarbon compounds, e.g., perfluorodecalin, perfluoroindane, perfluorotrimethyl bicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, perfluoromethyl adamantane, perfluorodimethyl adamantane, and perfluoro-2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane; 9-12C perfluoro amines, e.g., perfluorotripropyl amine, perfluorotributyl amine, perfluoro-1-azatricyclic amines; bromofluorocarbon compounds, e.g., perfluorooctyl bromide and perfluorooctyl dibromide; F-4-methyl octahydro-quinolidizine and perfluoro ethers, including chlorinated polyfluorocyclic ethers. Such compounds are described, for example, in United States patents 3,962,439, 3,493,581, 4,110,474, 4,186,253, 4,187,252, 4,252,827, 4,423,077, 4,443,480, 4,534,978, 4,686,024, 4,865,836, 4,866,096 and 4,868,318, European patent applications 80716 and 158,996, British patent specification 1,549,038 and German Offen. 2,650,586.
For intravenous use, highly fluorinated organic compounds must be dispersed as emulsions. See, e.g., L. C. Clark, Jr. et al., "Emulsions Of ..... ~ ~. ............
V~~ 93/11868 ~ ~ ~ ~ (~ ~ ~ PCT/US92/10736 Perfluorinated Solvents For Intravascular Gas Transport," Fed. Proc., 34(6), pp. 1468-77 (1975);

Such emulsions must not only contain a high enough concentration of the highly fluorinated organic compound to be effective in the desired level of oxygen transport, they must also by capable of sterilization, preferably by heat, have long term stability in the fluid or non-frozen state, persist for sufficiently long times in the blood stream to deliver useful quantities of oxygen and yet be eliminated rapidly enough from the body to avoid toxicity and retention in body parts and organs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In order that the invention herein described may be more fully understood, the following detailed l0 description is set forth.
The present invention relates to various highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds ("chlorofluorochemicals"). These compounds, particularly, emulsions containing them, are useful in various medical and oxygen transport applications. The highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, organic compounds of this invention contain 7 to 9 carbon atoms, are non-cyclic, and include, for example, highly fluorinated chlorochemicals, particularly, chloroperfluorochemicals, including perfluorochloroethers, and highly fluorinated bromochlorochemicals, particularly, bromochloroperfluorochemicals. We prefer perfluorochlorochemicals.
The compounds of this invention typically contain one to three chloro or bromo substituents in total, at least one being chloro. Preferably, only chloro substituents are present. More preferably, the compounds of this invention have two chloro substituents.
Although the chloro and bromo substituents can in principle be located on any carbon in the compound, we prefer that when there is more than one ... t. 1..... ... .,... ... ....
W~ 93/11868 c~ ~ ~ o ~ PCT/US92/10736 such substituent, that they be on different carbons (i.e., not geminal). In the most preferred chlorofluorochemical of this invention --1,8 perfluorodichlorooctane -- the chloro substituents are located at opposite ends of the carbon chain. One route of synthesis of this compound is described in A.Y. Zapevalov et al., "Synthesis' And Reactions Of Oxygen-Containing Organofluorine Compounds VI. ' Polyfluorinated Ketones With A Trifluoromethyl Group", Journal of Orctanic Chemistry of the USSR, 14, pp. 239-242 (July 1978).
This invention also contemplates N-, O-, and S-containing highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, non-cyclic organic compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms. For example, tertiary amines, ethers or sulfones may be employed. It should be understood that any of the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds of this invention may be mixed together or with other well known highly fluorinated organic compounds and used in the emulsions of this invention.
The highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds of this invention are non-cyclic, straight or branched chain compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms, preferably saturated aliphatic compounds.
Compounds having 8 carbon atoms are preferred.
Dichloro-substituted organic compounds having 8 carbon atoms, e.g., perfluorodichlorooctane and perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether, are more preferred. The most preferred compound in accordance with this invention is 1,8-perfluorodichlorooctane ("PFDCO").
In addition, this invention also contemplates perfluorochloroethers having 7 to 10 carbons, and more preferably perfluorochloroethers having 7 to 9 carbon atoms. The perfluorochloroethers contemplated within the scope of this invention include: [C1-(CF2)4-O-]2CF2, [C1-(CF2)3-O-]2CFCF3. [Cl-C2F4-O-C2F4-O-]2CF2~
C4F9-O-)2CFCF2-C1, CSF~~-O-CF(CF2-C1)2, [(C1-CF2)2CF-O-]2CF2, C4F9-O-C(CF2-C1)3, C1-CF2C(CF3)2CF2-O-(CF2)4-C1, C1-C2F4-O-CF(CF3)CF(CF3)-O-C2F4-C1, CBF~~-O-CF2-C1, CSF~~-O-(CF2)5-C1, CF3-O-(CF2)8-C1;
C1-C2F4-O-(CF2)4-O-C2F4-C1, C1-(CF2CF2-O-)3C2F4-C1, (CF3)3C-O-(CF2)5-C1, C4F9-O-CF2CF(CF2-C1)-O-CF3, C4F9-O-C2F4-O-C2F4-C1, CsF~3-O-C2F4-O-C2F4-C1, and perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether. We prefer C4F9-O-C2F4-0-C2F4-C1, C6F~3-O-C2F4-O-C2F4-C1 and perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether, most preferably perfluoro-bis-chlorobutylether.
Several methods exist for fluorination of chloroether or fluorochloroether precursors to produce the perfluorochloroethers that are useful in this invention. Such precursors, e.g., bis-chlorobutylether, butoxyethoxyethylchloride and hexyloxyethoxyethylchloride, are commercially available or can be readily synthesized by one of ordinary skill in the art.
We prefer either solid phase or liquid phase direct fluorination as described in United States pateritS 4,755,567, 4,859,747, 5,093,432, arid iri published PCT application WO 90/06296. The direct fluorination of the chloroether or fluorochloroether precursors can be carried out at moderate or near ambient temperatures, e.g., -20°C to +50°C, using a stoichiometric excess of fluorine gas. Preferably the fluorine gas is diluted with an inert gas, such,as nitrogen, to minimize or avoid the hazards of pure fluorine gas and to control the amount of heat generated upon initial contact of the precursor with fluorine. The fluorination can be carried out in an ~ T
1~ 93/11868 PCT/US92/10736 212~4~1 oxygen- and water-free environment and can be carried out in the presence of a solid particulate scavenger, e.g., sodium fluoride, for the hydrogen fluoride by-product that is generated.
We prefer to use liquid phase direct fluorination in the absence of a hydrogen fluoride scavenger. The fluorochloroether precursor is dispersed in an inert liquid, such as a fluorocarbon or fluorochlorocarbon liquid. The reaction is conducted at a temperature and inert gas flow rate sufficient to volatilize the hydrogen fluoride by-product and enable its removal from the fluorination zone as it is generated. See, e.g., published PCT application WO 90/06296.
For intravenous use, the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds of this invention are dispersed as emulsions. Such emulsions may comprise up to about 60% (by volume) of the chloro-containing compound. Preferably, the emulsions of this invention comprise from about 10% to about 50% (by volume) of the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound. Most preferably, emulsions containing about 25% to about 40% (by volume) of a chlorofluorochemical of this invention are used.
The emulsions of this invention are made using conventional means and methods and include components common to the well known emulsions of highly fluorinated organic compounds. Among the surfactants useful in the emulsions of this invention are any of the known anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants. Preferred are the nonionic surfactants, such as alkyl or aryl compounds, whose hydrophilic part consists of polyoxyethylene chains, sugar molecules, polyalcohol derivatives or other hydrophilic groups, for example, any of the BASF Wyandotte formulations of ~'~~~.40I
_8_ polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene oxides sold under the tradename "Pluronic", for example, Pluronic F-68 or F-108, or zwitterionic surfactants. Fluorinated surfactants, e.g., ATSURF~ F-31 (ICI, Wilmington, DE), may also be used in the emulsions of this invention.
See, e.g., Riess et al., "Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Fluorocarbons and Surfactants for In Vivo Applications, New Perfluoroalkylated Polyhydroxylated Surfactants", Artif. Cells Artif. Organs, 16, pp. 421-30 (1988). Again, combinations of these surfactants may, of course, be used in the emulsions of this invention. In addition, mixtures of compounds, one or more of which are not surfactants, but which compounds when combined act as surfactants may also be usefully employed as the surfactant component of the emulsions of this invention.
Preferably, the surfactants used in the emulsions of this invention are physiologically acceptable, for example, one or more of the following:
egg and soybean phosphatides, lecithin, and alkyl salts of oleic acid, such as sodium oleate. More preferable is lecithin. While the amount of a particular surfactant used in the emulsions of this invention depends on the amounts and properties of the other components of the emulsion, typically we employ between about 0.5 and 10% (by weight of the total emulsion) of surfactant. More preferably, we use about 1 to about 4% (by weight).
The emulsions of this invention may also contain an oil that is not substantially surface active and not significantly water soluble. Such oils are, for example, described in EP 231,091, WO 89/10118 and U.S. Pat. 4,866,096. They include liquid fatty oils, hydrocarbons, waxes, such as monoesters of a fatty acid and a monohydroxide alcohol, long chain ethers, ~J 93/11868 PCT/US92/10736 _ g _ diglycerides, triglycerides, silicone oils and nitriles. Among the useful oils in these classes are palmitoyl oleate, octyl nitrile, dodecyl nitrile, soybean) oil, safflower oil, mineral oil, hexadecane, and diglycerides and triglycerides having a C~2_~8 carbon chain. Of course, any mixture of triglycerides and or oils that are similar in fatty acid composition to triglycerides may be used. These oils may be used singly or in various combinations in the emulsions and processes of this invention. When our emulsions are to be used medically, the oil or combination of oils must, of course, be physiologically acceptable. In that regard, we prefer physiologically acceptable liquid fatty oils, such as soybean and safflower oils.
The amount of oil, or oils, if present, in the emulsions of this invention may vary over a wide range of concentrations depending on the concentration and properties of the other components of the emulsion, being principally dependent on the characteristics of the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound component of the emulsion. The actual oil concentration to produce an acceptable emulsion for any given set of components is easily determined as taught.
by this invention using the simple techniques of preparing the emulsions at various oil concentrations.
Within this teaching, we typically employ between about 0.5 and 20 w/v% of oil or a mixture of oils.
Preferably, we employ between about 1 and 5 w/v%.
In addition to the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds, oils, surfactants and water, the emulsions of this invention may also contain other components conventionally used in "artificial bloods" or blood substitutes, oxygen transport agents or contrast media. For example, emulsions according to this invention usually also T/
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
U
PCI~~ 92/10736 _ 10 _ contain an isotonic agent, typically sugars, such as glucose, mannose~and fructose, glycerin, or other polyhydric alcohols to adjust the osmotic pressure of the emulsion to about that of blood. Osmolarity may also be adjusted after sterilization by buffers such as sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride, and the like, to reduce the possibility of red blood cell injury. For example, we typically use between about 1 and 2.5% (by weight of the emulsion) of such agents. However, other amounts and other osmotic pressure controlling agents, e.g., Tyrode solution, could as well be used. In addition, these emulsions may be mixed with 0.9% saline, lactated Ringer's i solution, and serum and serum products with no adverse effect on emulsion particle size and stability. The emulsions of this invention may also include other components, such as osmotic agents, e.g., dextran or hydroxyethyl-starch (HES), and antioxidants.
In the most preferred emulsions of this invention, the chlorofluorochemical is PFDCO, the surfactant is egg yolk lecithin, and the oil, if present, is safflower oil. Glycerin is typically added to the emulsion to adjust isotonicity. In the most preferred emulsions of this invention, the PFDCO is present in about 40% by volume, the lecithin in about 2.0 w/v%, and the safflower oil, if present, in about 2.0 w/v% of the emulsion.
As described above, the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound-containing emulsions of this invention are useful as contrast media. Lacking hydrogen, they produce a signal void in the selected body part which can be distinguished from adjacent body parts by various biological imaging modalities, e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance, ultrasound, x-ray, computed tomography and position ~ U ~3 ~ Tl'~ lJ'~'~ ~ ~-f ~~'~' via 93/11868 2 ~ (~ Q ~ PCT/US92/10736 emission tomography. In addition, the compounds of this invention and their emulsions are useful as contrast agents and for direct imaging in ~9F-MRI.
When used as contrast media, the emulsions of the invention may be administered, for example, by bolus, orally, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intrathecally, or other medically approved method of administration, e.g., catheterization, to the degree necessary such that the emulsions are capable of producing clear concise shadows of the desired part or parts of the anatomy.
The emulsions of this invention may also be used as artificial bloods and infused intravenously to animals or humans~suffering from blood loss or oxygen.
depleted blood. Accordingly, the emulsions of this invention may also be used to sustain the oxygen requirements of living organisms or their cellular constituents, e.g., cell lines. Besides the utility of such artificial bloods for animals and humans, these emulsions can be used as a perfusate for the preservation of internal organs, such as with organ transplants, for extended periods outside the body.

The highly fluorinated components may then be mixed in at a predetermined rate so as to provide an emulsion of this invention.
The resulting emulsion is sterilized, preferably at temperatures in excess of 115°C, more preferably at about 121°C, packaged and otherwise processed for storage and use.
The mixing, pre-mixing if desirable, and emulsification of the components may be done using any of the conventional mixers, homogenizers, and emulsifiers. For example, one may employ Fisher brand touch mixers and microfluidizers or Gaulin homogenizers. In preparing the emulsions of this invention, we prefer to use an inert atmosphere (e. g., NZ) to prevent degradation of the surfactant and fatty oils, if present, and to use temperatures between about 45°C and 55°C.

EXAMPLES
Preparation Of Emulsion (Method A) Powdered, refined, egg yolk lecithin was obtained from Kabi Vitrum and dispersed in sterile H20 (Millipore~) under an inert atmosphere (N2) using a blaring"' Blender at high speed for 2-3 minutes. The lecithin so dispersed was collected under an inert atmosphere and stored at 4°C. All lecithin dispersions so prepared were used within one week of their preparation.
The lecithin dispersion (18.00% by weight) was suspended by vigorous handshaking and then a 17.01 g portion was transferred to a 250 ml inlet reservoir, again under an inert atmosphere, which fed a Microfluidizer"' homogenizes. The lecithin dispersion was then further diluted with 81.85 g of water and 2.94 g of glycerin prior to starting the homogenizes.
The homogenizes was then started and the pressure was maintained at about 8000 psi at a flow rate of about 350 ml/min. for about 2 minutes. Oil (3.50%) was slowly introduced (1-2 minutes) in an adjacent port, below the level of the inlet reservoir, as close to the homogenizes inlet as possible. The chlorofluorochemical (117.6 g, 70.0 ml) was slowly added (6-10 minutes) through the same adjacent port.
The homogenate was cycled through the valves of homogenizes for about an additional 15 minutes. The pH
was maintained at about 8.5 or higher by the controlled addition of 0.47 M Na2C03 or other base. The resulting emulsion, comprising 1.75 w/v% lecithin, 2.0 v/v% oil, and 40.0 v/v% chlorofluorochemical, was then sterilized in a rotating steam autoclave at about 121°C for about 15 minutes.
Preparation of Emulsion (Method B) A one quart Waring'~ blender was first loaded with the appropriate charge of sterile water (137.0 g), glycerin (4.09 g), lecithin (5.07 g), surfactant (5.02 g), and chlorofluorochemical (177.05 g, 98.91 ml) and mixed at high speed for 2-3 minutes. The entire contents were then added to a 250 ml inlet reservoir in a Microfluidizer"' homogenizes. The homogenizes was started and the pressure was maintained at about 8000 psi at a flow rate of about 350 ml/min. The pH was maintained at about 8.00 or higher by controlled addition of 0.47 M Na2C03 or other base. The material ' was cycled through the homogenizes for about 15 minutes. In the case of larger batches (>500 ml), the emulsion was alternately cycled between two different vessels for a total of six passes. The resulting emulsion, comprising 1.24 w/v% glycerin, 2.01 w/v%
lecithin, 1.99 w/v% surfactant and 38.23 v/v%
chlorofluorochemical, was then sterilized in a rotating steam autoclave at about 121°C for about 15 minutes.
Preparation of Emulsion (Method C) Water (about 3000.0 g) was placed in a 5 liter vessel equipped with a high speed stirrer, nitrogen inlet, and solids addition inlet. The stirrer was started and about 270.70 g of lecithin and about 257.7 g of oil were added to the vessel and maintained under Nitrogen atmosphere. Blending continued at about 1800 rpm for about 15 minutes. During this time, the ingredients formed a coarse emulsion. This coarse emulsion was transferred to a 14 Liter vessel equipped with a low speed stirrer, nitrogen inlet, water cooling ... ...

jacket and feed line. With mild agitation, about 4139.80 g of water was added, followed by a 5% solution of aqueous sodium carbonate (about 56.6 g). A Gaulin M15R homogenizes valve was set to an operational pressure of about 7500-9000 psi and the coarse emulsion was recirculated through this valve while about 9104.90 g of chlorofluorochemical was added to the mixture, prior to the homogenizes valve, at a rate of about 15 g/min. After addition of the chlorofluorochemical was complete, the entire emulsion was cycled into an alternate 14 Liter vessel (equipped identically to the first) with homogenization continuing at the aforementioned valve pressure of about 7500-9000 psi. The homogenate was passed through the homogenizing valve for about ten cycles, each cycle being passed into an alternate vessel. During this time, the temperature of the homogenate was maintained between about 30°C (at the inlet side of the valve) and 53°C (at the outlet side of the valve) by the application of cooling water to the vessel jackets.
The emulsion was collected, bottled into 350 mL
containers, and sterilized for 15 minutes at 121°C in an autoclave equipped with a rotating basket.
Of the methods described above, the particular method employed in the preparation of the following illustrative emulsions is indicated in brackets. In Examples 1-9 and 11, the chlorofluorochemical emulsions were prepared on a small scale in microfluidizers at a pressure of between about 7,000 and 9,000 psig for 10 to 15 minutes. Example 10 was prepared on a large scale in a Gaulin homogenizes.
The components of the aqueous phase which typically comprise about 60% by volume of these emulsions are not shown.

One quarter of each group was sacrificed at 2, 16, 30, and 60 days post-infusion. The clearance of perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether (PFBCBE) was measured by analyzing the liver, lung, spleen, and bone marrow from each animal. The tissue was ground in a Tissuemizer, extracted with an organic solvent, e.g., chloroform, carbontetrachloride or trifluoro-trichloro ethane, and analyzed by gas chromatography.
Figure I depicts the average percent dose of PFBCBE remaining in each of the four organs at each timepoint post-infusion. Nearly all of the perfluorocarbon cleared the major tissues by 60 days in rats receiving a total of 10 cc/kg PFBCBE, and is obviously in the process of elimination in rats receiving a dose of 20 cc/kg PFBCBE. Thus, PFBCBE
emulsions clear the body at an acceptable rate.

ORGANIC COMPOUND-CONTAINING EMULSIONS
AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THEM
TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to compositions comprising highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, non-cyclic organic compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms and to processes of making and using them. More particularly, this invention relates to emulsions comprising those highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds. This invention also relates to emulsions comprising non-cyclic perfluorochloroethers having 7 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 7 to 9 carbon atoms. These novel emulsions have various medical and oxygen transport applications. They are especially useful medically as contrast media for various biological imaging modalities, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, ~9F-magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, x-ray, computed tomography and position emission tomography, as oxygen transport agents or "artificial bloods," in the treatment of heart attack, stroke, and other vascular obstructions, as adjuvants to coronary angioplasty and in cancer radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
~~.~~4~1 - 2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Highly fluorinated organic compounds, and particularly perfluorocarbon compounds, are well known to be both stable and chemically inert. During the past 20 years much attention has focused on the use of such compounds in biological systems because they are capable of dissolving and transporting large amounts of oxygen. These properties make them potentially useful as contrast media, oxygen transport agents or "artificial bloods", in the treatment of heart attack, stroke, and other vascular obstructions, as adjuvants to coronary angioplasty, and in cancer radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
Among the highly fluorinated organic compounds that are said to be useful in such applications are perfluorocarbon compounds, e.g., perfluorodecalin, perfluoroindane, perfluorotrimethyl bicyclo [3.3.1] nonane, perfluoromethyl adamantane, perfluorodimethyl adamantane, and perfluoro-2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane; 9-12C perfluoro amines, e.g., perfluorotripropyl amine, perfluorotributyl amine, perfluoro-1-azatricyclic amines; bromofluorocarbon compounds, e.g., perfluorooctyl bromide and perfluorooctyl dibromide; F-4-methyl octahydro-quinolidizine and perfluoro ethers, including chlorinated polyfluorocyclic ethers. Such compounds are described, for example, in United States patents 3,962,439, 3,493,581, 4,110,474, 4,186,253, 4,187,252, 4,252,827, 4,423,077, 4,443,480, 4,534,978, 4,686,024, 4,865,836, 4,866,096 and 4,868,318, European patent applications 80716 and 158,996, British patent specification 1,549,038 and German Offen. 2,650,586.
For intravenous use, highly fluorinated organic compounds must be dispersed as emulsions. See, e.g., L. C. Clark, Jr. et al., "Emulsions Of ..... ~ ~. ............
V~~ 93/11868 ~ ~ ~ ~ (~ ~ ~ PCT/US92/10736 Perfluorinated Solvents For Intravascular Gas Transport," Fed. Proc., 34(6), pp. 1468-77 (1975);

Such emulsions must not only contain a high enough concentration of the highly fluorinated organic compound to be effective in the desired level of oxygen transport, they must also by capable of sterilization, preferably by heat, have long term stability in the fluid or non-frozen state, persist for sufficiently long times in the blood stream to deliver useful quantities of oxygen and yet be eliminated rapidly enough from the body to avoid toxicity and retention in body parts and organs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel compositions comprising highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, non-cyclic organic compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms and to processes of making and using them. More particularly, this invention relates to novel highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound-containing emulsions.
The emulsions of this invention are useful in various oxygen transport applications. They are particularly useful in medical applications, e.g., as contrast media for various biological imaging modalities, including nuclear magnetic resonance, ultrasound, ~9F-magnetic resonance imaging, x-ray, computed tomography, and position emission tomography, as oxygen transport agents or "artificial bloods", in the treatment of heart attack, stroke, and other ~'~~~~41 vascular obstructions, as adjuvants to coronary angioplasty and in cancer radiation and chemotherapy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In order that the invention herein described may be more fully understood, the following detailed l0 description is set forth.
The present invention relates to various highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds ("chlorofluorochemicals"). These compounds, particularly, emulsions containing them, are useful in various medical and oxygen transport applications. The highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, organic compounds of this invention contain 7 to 9 carbon atoms, are non-cyclic, and include, for example, highly fluorinated chlorochemicals, particularly, chloroperfluorochemicals, including perfluorochloroethers, and highly fluorinated bromochlorochemicals, particularly, bromochloroperfluorochemicals. We prefer perfluorochlorochemicals.
The compounds of this invention typically contain one to three chloro or bromo substituents in total, at least one being chloro. Preferably, only chloro substituents are present. More preferably, the compounds of this invention have two chloro substituents.
Although the chloro and bromo substituents can in principle be located on any carbon in the compound, we prefer that when there is more than one ... t. 1..... ... .,... ... ....
W~ 93/11868 c~ ~ ~ o ~ PCT/US92/10736 such substituent, that they be on different carbons (i.e., not geminal). In the most preferred chlorofluorochemical of this invention --1,8 perfluorodichlorooctane -- the chloro substituents are located at opposite ends of the carbon chain. One route of synthesis of this compound is described in A.Y. Zapevalov et al., "Synthesis' And Reactions Of Oxygen-Containing Organofluorine Compounds VI. ' Polyfluorinated Ketones With A Trifluoromethyl Group", Journal of Orctanic Chemistry of the USSR, 14, pp. 239-242 (July 1978).
This invention also contemplates N-, O-, and S-containing highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted, non-cyclic organic compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms. For example, tertiary amines, ethers or sulfones may be employed. It should be understood that any of the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds of this invention may be mixed together or with other well known highly fluorinated organic compounds and used in the emulsions of this invention.
The highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds of this invention are non-cyclic, straight or branched chain compounds having 7 to 9 carbon atoms, preferably saturated aliphatic compounds.
Compounds having 8 carbon atoms are preferred.
Dichloro-substituted organic compounds having 8 carbon atoms, e.g., perfluorodichlorooctane and perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether, are more preferred. The most preferred compound in accordance with this invention is 1,8-perfluorodichlorooctane ("PFDCO").
In addition, this invention also contemplates perfluorochloroethers having 7 to 10 carbons, and more preferably perfluorochloroethers having 7 to 9 carbon atoms. The perfluorochloroethers contemplated within the scope of this invention include: [C1-(CF2)4-O-]2CF2, [C1-(CF2)3-O-]2CFCF3. [Cl-C2F4-O-C2F4-O-]2CF2~

C1-C2F4-O-(CF2)4-O-C2F4-C1, C1-(CF2CF2-O-)3C2F4-C1, (CF3)3C-O-(CF2)5-C1, C4F9-O-CF2CF(CF2-C1)-O-CF3, C4F9-O-C2F4-O-C2F4-C1, CsF~3-O-C2F4-O-C2F4-C1, and perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether. We prefer C4F9-O-C2F4-0-C2F4-C1, C6F~3-O-C2F4-O-C2F4-C1 and perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether, most preferably perfluoro-bis-chlorobutylether.
Several methods exist for fluorination of chloroether or fluorochloroether precursors to produce the perfluorochloroethers that are useful in this invention. Such precursors, e.g., bis-chlorobutylether, butoxyethoxyethylchloride and hexyloxyethoxyethylchloride, are commercially available or can be readily synthesized by one of ordinary skill in the art.
We prefer either solid phase or liquid phase direct fluorination as described in United States pateritS 4,755,567, 4,859,747, 5,093,432, arid iri published PCT application WO 90/06296. The direct fluorination of the chloroether or fluorochloroether precursors can be carried out at moderate or near ambient temperatures, e.g., -20°C to +50°C, using a stoichiometric excess of fluorine gas. Preferably the fluorine gas is diluted with an inert gas, such,as nitrogen, to minimize or avoid the hazards of pure fluorine gas and to control the amount of heat generated upon initial contact of the precursor with fluorine. The fluorination can be carried out in an ~ T
1~ 93/11868 PCT/US92/10736 212~4~1 oxygen- and water-free environment and can be carried out in the presence of a solid particulate scavenger, e.g., sodium fluoride, for the hydrogen fluoride by-product that is generated.
We prefer to use liquid phase direct fluorination in the absence of a hydrogen fluoride scavenger. The fluorochloroether precursor is dispersed in an inert liquid, such as a fluorocarbon or fluorochlorocarbon liquid. The reaction is conducted at a temperature and inert gas flow rate sufficient to volatilize the hydrogen fluoride by-product and enable its removal from the fluorination zone as it is generated. See, e.g., published PCT application WO 90/06296.
For intravenous use, the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds of this invention are dispersed as emulsions. Such emulsions may comprise up to about 60% (by volume) of the chloro-containing compound. Preferably, the emulsions of this invention comprise from about 10% to about 50% (by volume) of the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound. Most preferably, emulsions containing about 25% to about 40% (by volume) of a chlorofluorochemical of this invention are used.
The emulsions of this invention are made using conventional means and methods and include components common to the well known emulsions of highly fluorinated organic compounds. Among the surfactants useful in the emulsions of this invention are any of the known anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants. Preferred are the nonionic surfactants, such as alkyl or aryl compounds, whose hydrophilic part consists of polyoxyethylene chains, sugar molecules, polyalcohol derivatives or other hydrophilic groups, for example, any of the BASF Wyandotte formulations of ~'~~~.40I
_8_ polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene oxides sold under the tradename "Pluronic", for example, Pluronic F-68 or F-108, or zwitterionic surfactants. Fluorinated surfactants, e.g., ATSURF~ F-31 (ICI, Wilmington, DE), may also be used in the emulsions of this invention.
See, e.g., Riess et al., "Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Fluorocarbons and Surfactants for In Vivo Applications, New Perfluoroalkylated Polyhydroxylated Surfactants", Artif. Cells Artif. Organs, 16, pp. 421-30 (1988). Again, combinations of these surfactants may, of course, be used in the emulsions of this invention. In addition, mixtures of compounds, one or more of which are not surfactants, but which compounds when combined act as surfactants may also be usefully employed as the surfactant component of the emulsions of this invention.
Preferably, the surfactants used in the emulsions of this invention are physiologically acceptable, for example, one or more of the following:
egg and soybean phosphatides, lecithin, and alkyl salts of oleic acid, such as sodium oleate. More preferable is lecithin. While the amount of a particular surfactant used in the emulsions of this invention depends on the amounts and properties of the other components of the emulsion, typically we employ between about 0.5 and 10% (by weight of the total emulsion) of surfactant. More preferably, we use about 1 to about 4% (by weight).
The emulsions of this invention may also contain an oil that is not substantially surface active and not significantly water soluble. Such oils are, for example, described in EP 231,091, WO 89/10118 and U.S. Pat. 4,866,096. They include liquid fatty oils, hydrocarbons, waxes, such as monoesters of a fatty acid and a monohydroxide alcohol, long chain ethers, ~J 93/11868 PCT/US92/10736 _ g _ diglycerides, triglycerides, silicone oils and nitriles. Among the useful oils in these classes are palmitoyl oleate, octyl nitrile, dodecyl nitrile, soybean) oil, safflower oil, mineral oil, hexadecane, and diglycerides and triglycerides having a C~2_~8 carbon chain. Of course, any mixture of triglycerides and or oils that are similar in fatty acid composition to triglycerides may be used. These oils may be used singly or in various combinations in the emulsions and processes of this invention. When our emulsions are to be used medically, the oil or combination of oils must, of course, be physiologically acceptable. In that regard, we prefer physiologically acceptable liquid fatty oils, such as soybean and safflower oils.
The amount of oil, or oils, if present, in the emulsions of this invention may vary over a wide range of concentrations depending on the concentration and properties of the other components of the emulsion, being principally dependent on the characteristics of the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound component of the emulsion. The actual oil concentration to produce an acceptable emulsion for any given set of components is easily determined as taught.
by this invention using the simple techniques of preparing the emulsions at various oil concentrations.
Within this teaching, we typically employ between about 0.5 and 20 w/v% of oil or a mixture of oils.
Preferably, we employ between about 1 and 5 w/v%.
In addition to the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compounds, oils, surfactants and water, the emulsions of this invention may also contain other components conventionally used in "artificial bloods" or blood substitutes, oxygen transport agents or contrast media. For example, emulsions according to this invention usually also T/
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
U
PCI~~ 92/10736 _ 10 _ contain an isotonic agent, typically sugars, such as glucose, mannose~and fructose, glycerin, or other polyhydric alcohols to adjust the osmotic pressure of the emulsion to about that of blood. Osmolarity may also be adjusted after sterilization by buffers such as sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride, and the like, to reduce the possibility of red blood cell injury. For example, we typically use between about 1 and 2.5% (by weight of the emulsion) of such agents. However, other amounts and other osmotic pressure controlling agents, e.g., Tyrode solution, could as well be used. In addition, these emulsions may be mixed with 0.9% saline, lactated Ringer's i solution, and serum and serum products with no adverse effect on emulsion particle size and stability. The emulsions of this invention may also include other components, such as osmotic agents, e.g., dextran or hydroxyethyl-starch (HES), and antioxidants.
In the most preferred emulsions of this invention, the chlorofluorochemical is PFDCO, the surfactant is egg yolk lecithin, and the oil, if present, is safflower oil. Glycerin is typically added to the emulsion to adjust isotonicity. In the most preferred emulsions of this invention, the PFDCO is present in about 40% by volume, the lecithin in about 2.0 w/v%, and the safflower oil, if present, in about 2.0 w/v% of the emulsion.
As described above, the highly fluorinated, chloro-substituted organic compound-containing emulsions of this invention are useful as contrast media. Lacking hydrogen, they produce a signal void in the selected body part which can be distinguished from adjacent body parts by various biological imaging modalities, e.g., nuclear magnetic resonance, ultrasound, x-ray, computed tomography and position ~ U ~3 ~ Tl'~ lJ'~'~ ~ ~-f ~~'~' via 93/11868 2 ~ (~ Q ~ PCT/US92/10736 emission tomography. In addition, the compounds of this invention and their emulsions are useful as contrast agents and for direct imaging in ~9F-MRI.
When used as contrast media, the emulsions of the invention may be administered, for example, by bolus, orally, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intrathecally, or other medically approved method of administration, e.g., catheterization, to the degree necessary such that the emulsions are capable of producing clear concise shadows of the desired part or parts of the anatomy.
The emulsions of this invention may also be used as artificial bloods and infused intravenously to animals or humans~suffering from blood loss or oxygen.
depleted blood. Accordingly, the emulsions of this invention may also be used to sustain the oxygen requirements of living organisms or their cellular constituents, e.g., cell lines. Besides the utility of such artificial bloods for animals and humans, these emulsions can be used as a perfusate for the preservation of internal organs, such as with organ transplants, for extended periods outside the body.

The highly fluorinated components may then be mixed in at a predetermined rate so as to provide an emulsion of this invention.
The resulting emulsion is sterilized, preferably at temperatures in excess of 115°C, more preferably at about 121°C, packaged and otherwise processed for storage and use.
The mixing, pre-mixing if desirable, and emulsification of the components may be done using any of the conventional mixers, homogenizers, and emulsifiers. For example, one may employ Fisher brand touch mixers and microfluidizers or Gaulin homogenizers. In preparing the emulsions of this invention, we prefer to use an inert atmosphere (e. g., NZ) to prevent degradation of the surfactant and fatty oils, if present, and to use temperatures between about 45°C and 55°C.

EXAMPLES
Preparation Of Emulsion (Method A) Powdered, refined, egg yolk lecithin was obtained from Kabi Vitrum and dispersed in sterile H20 (Millipore~) under an inert atmosphere (N2) using a blaring"' Blender at high speed for 2-3 minutes. The lecithin so dispersed was collected under an inert atmosphere and stored at 4°C. All lecithin dispersions so prepared were used within one week of their preparation.
The lecithin dispersion (18.00% by weight) was suspended by vigorous handshaking and then a 17.01 g portion was transferred to a 250 ml inlet reservoir, again under an inert atmosphere, which fed a Microfluidizer"' homogenizes. The lecithin dispersion was then further diluted with 81.85 g of water and 2.94 g of glycerin prior to starting the homogenizes.
The homogenizes was then started and the pressure was maintained at about 8000 psi at a flow rate of about 350 ml/min. for about 2 minutes. Oil (3.50%) was slowly introduced (1-2 minutes) in an adjacent port, below the level of the inlet reservoir, as close to the homogenizes inlet as possible. The chlorofluorochemical (117.6 g, 70.0 ml) was slowly added (6-10 minutes) through the same adjacent port.
The homogenate was cycled through the valves of homogenizes for about an additional 15 minutes. The pH
was maintained at about 8.5 or higher by the controlled addition of 0.47 M Na2C03 or other base. The resulting emulsion, comprising 1.75 w/v% lecithin, 2.0 v/v% oil, and 40.0 v/v% chlorofluorochemical, was then sterilized in a rotating steam autoclave at about 121°C for about 15 minutes.
Preparation of Emulsion (Method B) A one quart Waring'~ blender was first loaded with the appropriate charge of sterile water (137.0 g), glycerin (4.09 g), lecithin (5.07 g), surfactant (5.02 g), and chlorofluorochemical (177.05 g, 98.91 ml) and mixed at high speed for 2-3 minutes. The entire contents were then added to a 250 ml inlet reservoir in a Microfluidizer"' homogenizes. The homogenizes was started and the pressure was maintained at about 8000 psi at a flow rate of about 350 ml/min. The pH was maintained at about 8.00 or higher by controlled addition of 0.47 M Na2C03 or other base. The material ' was cycled through the homogenizes for about 15 minutes. In the case of larger batches (>500 ml), the emulsion was alternately cycled between two different vessels for a total of six passes. The resulting emulsion, comprising 1.24 w/v% glycerin, 2.01 w/v%
lecithin, 1.99 w/v% surfactant and 38.23 v/v%
chlorofluorochemical, was then sterilized in a rotating steam autoclave at about 121°C for about 15 minutes.
Preparation of Emulsion (Method C) Water (about 3000.0 g) was placed in a 5 liter vessel equipped with a high speed stirrer, nitrogen inlet, and solids addition inlet. The stirrer was started and about 270.70 g of lecithin and about 257.7 g of oil were added to the vessel and maintained under Nitrogen atmosphere. Blending continued at about 1800 rpm for about 15 minutes. During this time, the ingredients formed a coarse emulsion. This coarse emulsion was transferred to a 14 Liter vessel equipped with a low speed stirrer, nitrogen inlet, water cooling ... ...

jacket and feed line. With mild agitation, about 4139.80 g of water was added, followed by a 5% solution of aqueous sodium carbonate (about 56.6 g). A Gaulin M15R homogenizes valve was set to an operational pressure of about 7500-9000 psi and the coarse emulsion was recirculated through this valve while about 9104.90 g of chlorofluorochemical was added to the mixture, prior to the homogenizes valve, at a rate of about 15 g/min. After addition of the chlorofluorochemical was complete, the entire emulsion was cycled into an alternate 14 Liter vessel (equipped identically to the first) with homogenization continuing at the aforementioned valve pressure of about 7500-9000 psi. The homogenate was passed through the homogenizing valve for about ten cycles, each cycle being passed into an alternate vessel. During this time, the temperature of the homogenate was maintained between about 30°C (at the inlet side of the valve) and 53°C (at the outlet side of the valve) by the application of cooling water to the vessel jackets.
The emulsion was collected, bottled into 350 mL
containers, and sterilized for 15 minutes at 121°C in an autoclave equipped with a rotating basket.
Of the methods described above, the particular method employed in the preparation of the following illustrative emulsions is indicated in brackets. In Examples 1-9 and 11, the chlorofluorochemical emulsions were prepared on a small scale in microfluidizers at a pressure of between about 7,000 and 9,000 psig for 10 to 15 minutes. Example 10 was prepared on a large scale in a Gaulin homogenizes.
The components of the aqueous phase which typically comprise about 60% by volume of these emulsions are not shown.

2~2~40~-To model stability in the human circulation, emulsions A, B and E were admixed 1:1 with a 5%
solution of human serum albumin in lactated Ringer's solution. After incubation in this medium for 4 days at 37°C, the mean particle size distribution was 289 manometers for example A, 265 manometers for example B
and 263 manometers for example E. The emulsions are clearly stable under these conditions as well.
Example 12 Emulsion C (Example 11) was infused intravenously into two groups of 200-250 g albino Sprague Dawley male rats at a rate of lcc/min to a total dose of 10 cc/kg (40 animals) or 20 cc/kg (20 animals). One quarter of each group was sacrificed at 2, 16, 30, and 60 days post-infusion. The clearance of perfluoro-bis-chlorobutyl ether (PFBCBE) was measured by analyzing the liver, lung, spleen, and bone marrow from each animal. The tissue was ground in a Tissuemizer, extracted with an organic solvent, e.g., chloroform, carbontetrachloride or trifluoro-trichloro ethane, and analyzed by gas chromatography.
Figure I depicts the average percent dose of PFBCBE remaining in each of the four organs at each timepoint post-infusion. Nearly all of the perfluorocarbon cleared the major tissues by 60 days in rats receiving a total of 10 cc/kg PFBCBE, and is obviously in the process of elimination in rats receiving a dose of 20 cc/kg PFBCBE. Thus, PFBCBE
emulsions clear the body at an acceptable rate.
