Red blood cell substitute emulsions containing alkyl- or alkylglycerophosphoryl choline surfactants and methods of use

摘要

Oil and water emulsions containing alkylphosphoryl choline or alkylglycerophosphoryl choline surfactants are disclosed. The surfactants have the following general structures: I. R3PC II. In the above general structures, R1, R2 or R3 is alkyl, alkenyl, fluoroalkyl and alkenyl; and PC is the phosphoryl choline. The emulsions are useful as oxygen transport agents, artificial bloods or red blood cell substitutes.
