Synthesis and surface activity of diether-linked phosphoglycerols: Potential applications for exogenous lung surfactants

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.09.083

The synthesis of three phosphoglycerols is described, one of which contains the previously unknown phosphonoglycerol headgroup. The surface tension-lowering capabilities of synthetic lung surfactant mixtures containing the PG analogs were measured on the
