Drugs in Lung Surfactants
INFASURF (calfactant)
CUROSURF (poractant alfa)
Lung surfactants, also referred to as pulmonary surfactants, are a therapeutic class of surface-active lipoprotein preparations formulated from natural animal extracts or synthetic components.
They act by lowering surface tension at the alveolar air-liquid interface, which stabilizes the alveoli against end-expiratory collapse, improves lung compliance, and enhances respiratory gas exchange.
Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated for the prevention and rescue treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants with endogenous surfactant deficiency.
