Albala Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA Abstract Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction is a non-invasive method of administering drugs. UCA are less than 6 µm in The presence of contrast agents in ultrasound imaging has diameter and show enhanced permeation and retention effects made a substantial impact on account of the physical in vascular circulation. Non-ionic surfactant-based similarities between tissues and fluids in the human body. microbubbles can be ‘loaded’ in a variety of different ways Perfluorocarbon gas-filled microbubbles have been shown to with drugs (electrostatic binding, encapsulation within the possess great viability as both ultrasound contrast agents hydrophobic core, etc.), allowing for simultaneous imaging (UCA) and as therapeutic targeted drug-delivery vehicles. and drug delivery aimed at targeted drug release. Ultrasound PFC gas has extremely low solubility (in blood), the bubbles sonication causes a contraction and expansion of the bubbles are safe in concordance with the human body and are small (corresponding to the sound waves’ harmonic oscillation), enough (less than 6µm) to pass through the smallest vessels, which, at clinical ultrasound frequencies, can cause the bubble and most importantly, their acoustical impedance greatly to implode, thereby releasing its contents. enhances contrast. Ultrasound can be applied to a specific area of the body (e.g. a An important consideration of anything injected and tumor/mass) where the bubbles in circulation need to release circulating in the human body is its sterility, especially to their contents. The force of the microbubbles’ destruction is avoid risk of infection (and satisfy FDA requirements). Short also known to cause transient pore opening, which allows for of production in a “clean” facility, microbubbles are far from enhanced drug uptake. Microbubbles of different types are sterile. This focus of this experiment is to employ gas plasma being applied clinically already for enhanced ultrasound to sterilize bubbles freeze-dried for storage. The goal is to imaging, and the importance of future applications is clear, in identify the ideal plasma setting to sterilize the sample. terms of delivering medication in high concentration to the target, sparing toxicity to the rest of the body. Sterility was difficult to achieve with this UCA, but poly lactic acid bubbles can be sterilized with similar setup [2], perhaps The sterility of contrast agents is of utmost importance. The due to non-sterile pre-plasma injection of PFC gas. More possible complications and confusion that can arise with studies need to be done to understand sterilization possibilities bacteriological infections or reactions are unacceptable. The with surfactant bubbles. goal is to sterilize two important types of surfactant-based microbubbles—both are made with a combination of Span 60 Introduction and a either Polysorbate/Tween 80 or Vitamin E. The microbubble solution is flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and The microbubbles are generated in a solution by sonication, vacuum-dried to achieve the final product, a powder. This is and stabilized by a layer of nonionic surfactant molecules. The the medium that is sterilized because packaging, storing, and combination of surfactants has a certain hydrophile-lipophile sterilization applications of microbubbles show that balance to reduce head-group repulsion. These bubbles are conservation in a solid powder state after freeze-drying is highly echogenic and small enough to pass through the likely favorable. pulmonary capillary bed. Plasma gas is the chosen method of sterilization because of the low probability that it will react with the bubbles and of its low-thermal nature. Plasma is a partially ionized gas mainly composed of ions, electrons, and radicals. In turn, radicals disrupt the metabolism of microorganisms, thus making this permeating gas medium ideal in annihilating bacteria. This experiment explored the different power setting and durations of plasma setting of a bench-top plasma cleaner for the optimal sterilization setting. Figure 1: Proposed molecular arrangement of the surfactants by Wheatley et. Al. [5]. 1 Microbubble stability and echogenicity in an ultrasound bath could mean that there are either fewer microbubbles or that and sterility tests are done to ensure that incubation in RPMI they survive the ultrasound less: growth media does not cause contamination. Results have shown possibility for sterilization in addition to maintenance of echogenicity, though future work with plasma- treated liquids seems to be a feasible solution in the manufacturing process of the microbubbles Primary Goals  Maximize retention of enhancement with appropriate SE61 and ST68 bubble size after sterilization of freezedried bubble solutions.  Maintain sterile conditions in RPMI growth media up to 48 hours after incubation with plasma-sterilized bubbles.  Avoid compromising echogenicity and stability of the bubbles Figure 2: Acoustic response; the response of different amounts of reconstituted microbubbles per liter. while maintaining sterility by optimizing sterilization settings. Methodology Microbubble Manufacture: Span60, NaCl, and PBS are mixed with either Tween80 or TPGS to form ST68 or SE61 suspensions. Suspensions are autoclaved and bubbles are generated by sonication (3 min, 110 W) and purging with PFC. Wash and gravity separation of microbubbles at 4º C with 3 cold PBS washes. Pipetted 2ml of bubbles in lyophilization vials with 2 ml glucose/PBS solution (maintain 1:1) and freeze-dry. Injected PFC gas into vials. 0.05g of powder are transferred to vials. Plasma sterilized at appropriate settings. Bubbles reconstituted with RPMI media to test size, echogenicity, or sterility.

Sterility Testing: Another portion of plasma sterilized samples are reconstituted with RPMI media and incubated in small petri dishes for 48 hours at 37 C. Microscopy was used to explore for bacteria contamination. Data & Results Microbubbles maintained a diameter from 1 to 3 microns (tested using dynamic light scattering). As for echogenicity, it seems that various settings of plasma gas do not cause significant loss in response. However, the duration of echogenic response is slightly decreased over time, which 2
