Characterization of phospholipidic components of the natural pulmonary surfactant Curosurf. 1994

Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Department, Chiesi Farmaceutici SpA, Parma, Italy.

The phospholipidic classes of the natural pulmonary surfactant Curosurf were separated by bidimensional TLC and isolated. Quantitative analysis of each class was made by colorimetric determination of phosphorus. FD/MS and NH3-CI/MS were used to identify individual components. GC was used for qualitative/quantitative analysis of fatty acid moieties as methyl esters, using internal standards, by comparison with authentic samples.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.
