| Abstract | Palmitic acid (PA) has been widely used as an useful and effective additive to pulmonary surfactants (PS) such as Survanta and Surfaxin. Moreover, PA has well-known biological and physicochemical properties, and its simple chemical structure allows its manufacture at low cost. However, the role and significance of PA in PS formulations are still controversial. In the present study, the PS model preparation containing PA has been investigated to clarify its additional effect (molecular recognition and interaction in particular) employing the Langmuir monolayer technique. The elucidation of the PA effect is performed by comparison with the data from its analogue (or homologue) lipids; i.e. three fatty acids and four fatty alcohols. The surface pressure (π)-molecular area (A) and surface potential (ΔV)−A isotherms for the eight DPPC/fatty lipid systems containing a PS model peptide (Hel 13-5) have been measured. In addition, the morphology and phase behavior are examined with in situ fluorescence and ex situatomic force microscopy. As a result, it is found that a balance between the hydrophilicity of the headgroup and the hydrophobicity of the tail group in the lipids is an important factor in pulmonary functions. In particular, the dissociation degree of the fatty acids, which depends on the pH or the surface pH, strongly affects their electrostatic interaction with positively charged Hel 13-5. The chain length is also significant and the carbon number 16 is found to be most appropriate. The present molecular-level information on the interaction between the lipids and Hel 13-5 in the presence of DPPC indicates that PA takes on a hydrophile–lipophile balance suitable for the PS preparation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
