Perflenapent (INN/USAN), or perfluoropentane (PFP), is a fluorocarbon. It has several biomedical applications including: propellant for pressurized metered dose inhalers;^[2] gas core in microbubble ultrasound contrast agents;^[3] and occlusion therapy via the conversion of nanometer liquid droplets into micrometer sized gas microbubbles (acoustic droplet vaporization).^[4]
