Synthesis methods and initial surface property characterizations are reported for two sulfur-containing phosphonolipids related structurally to dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), the major lung surfactant glycerophospholipid. Sulfur linkages in these compounds affect molecular interactions relative to ester linkages, and are structurally resistant to cleavage by phospholipases. The SO2-linked analog synthesized here had increased adsorption and improved film respreading compared to DPPC, while reaching very low surface tensions (1 N/m) in cycled interfacial films on both the Wilhelmy balance and the pulsating bubble surfactometer. This compound appears to have potential utility as a component in future phospholipase-resistant synthetic exogenous surfactants for treating clinical forms of inflammatory lung injury.
