Intramuscular injections of vitamin A decrease the risk of broncho-pulmonary dysplasia. Admixture of vitamin A with surfactant as a lipophilic vehicle might be a less invasive modality.
Test physical properties of surfactant + vitamin A.
Miscibility and surface activity were tested in surfactant supplemented with retinyl-acetate, -palmitate, 13-cis-, or all-trans-retinoic acid.
Retinol acetate (5000 IU/mL) demonstrated miscibility with surfactant when premixing with ethanol. Its surface activity was 40% lower compared to surfactant alone.
These findings warrant preclinical studies to test whether administration of vitamin A in subjects requiring surfactant is associated with beneficial functional properties.
肌肉注射维生素A可降低支气管肺发育不良的风险。将维生素A与作为亲脂性载体的表面活性剂混合可能是一种侵入性较小的方式。
测试表面活性剂+维生素A的物理性质。
在添加了醋酸视黄酯、棕榈酸视黄酯、13-顺式视黄酸或全反式视黄酸的表面活性剂中测试混溶性和表面活性。
醋酸视黄醇(5000 IU/mL)与乙醇预混合时与表面活性剂具有混溶性。其表面活性比单独的表面活性剂低40%。
这些发现值得进行临床前研究,以测试在需要表面活性剂的受试者中给予维生素A是否具有有益的功能特性。
