Description of Perfluorohexyloctane

Perfluorohexyloctane is a semifluorinated alkane ophthalmic preparation used for the treatment of dry eye disease. Perfluorohexyloctane forms a monolayer at the air-liquid interface of the tear film to inhibit water evaporation and stabilize the tear film. Perfluorohexyloctane supplements lipids, improves meibomian gland secretion, and reduces ocular surface inflammation. Perfluorohexyloctane can be used in studies on evaporative dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction-associated dry eye, and ocular surface inflammation repair[1-4].

In vitro, exposure of human HepaRG hepatocytes to 0.44%-12.32% (v/v) perfluorohexyloctane for 24 hours altered amino acid, fatty acid, and lipid metabolism. Intracellular lipid levels decreased at low perfluorohexyloctane concentrations and increased at high perfluorohexyloctane concentrations[5].

Protocol of Perfluorohexyloctane

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HepaRG cells (human hepatic cell line)

Preparation Method

HepaRG cells were maintained in basal hepatic cell medium supplemented with HepaRG Growth Medium Supplement with antibiotics at 37°C, 5% CO2, differentiated for 14 days, seeded at 106 cells/well, and exposed to 0.44%-12.32% v/v Perfluorohexyloctane for 24 hours. After exposure, cell pellets and supernatant were collected for metabolomic analysis by UHPLC-QTOFMS.

Reaction Conditions

0.44%-12.32% v/v; 24h

Applications

Perfluorohexyloctane altered amino acid, fatty acid, and lipid metabolism. Perfluorohexyloctane downregulated several lipids at low concentration and upregulated multiple lipids at high concentration. Perfluorohexyloctane induced the formation of a biotransformation product, perfluorohexyloctanoic acid.
