Perflubron (1-Bromoperfluorooctane, Perfluorooctyl bromide, Oxygent, PFOB) exhibits anti-inflammatory activity thus decreases cytokine production in human alveolar macrophages. Perflubron also attenuates oxidative damage to both biological and nonbiological systems which is independent of its anti-inflammatory properties.
