| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our research group has investigated lung surfactant preparations for treatments of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The RDS is caused by the absence or dysfunction of lung surfactant, but is dramatically improved by lung surfactant drugs. However, animal lung-derived lung surfactant is very expensive and has many limitations, including the possibility of causing allergies and infections. In this research, in particular, as part of the research for developing innovative fluorinated lung surfactant, we have studied the interfacial behavior of fluorinated alkanes, which have a relatively high metabolic rate in vivo.
