Vibration Characteristics and Persistence of Poloxamer- or Phospholipid-Coated Single Microbubbles under Ultrasound Irradiation

Résumé

Microbubbles shelled with soft materials are expected to find applications as ultrasound-sensitive drug delivery systems, including through sonoporation. Microbubbles with specific vibrational characteristics and long intravascular persistence are required for clinical uses. To achieve this aim, the kinetics of the microbubble shell components at the gas/liquid interface while being subjected to ultrasound need to be better understood. This paper investigates the vibration characteristics and lifetime of single microbubbles coated with a poloxamer surfactant, Pluronic F-68, and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) under ultrasound irradiation. Air- and perfluorohexane (PFH)-filled microbubbles coated with Pluronic F-68 and DMPC at several concentrations (0 to 10–2 mol L–1) were produced. An optical measurement system using a laser Doppler vibrometer and microscope was used to observe the radial vibration mode of single microbubbles. The vibrational displacement amplitude and resonance radius of Pluronic- or DMPC-coated microbubbles were found to depend very little on the concentrations. The resonance radius was around 65 μm at 38.8 kHz under all the experimental conditions investigated. The lifetime of the microbubbles was investigated simultaneously by measuring their temporal change in volume, and it was increased with Pluronic concentration. Remarkably, the oscillation amplitude of the bubble has an effect on the bubble lifetime. In other words, larger oscillation under the resonance condition accelerates the diffusion of the inner gas.
