Volatile aromatics, eucalyptol, eucalyptus oil, camphor and menthol were spread on synthetic DPL films and pulmonary surfactants; the initial surface pressure of the surfactants was measured and the additional surface pressure increment recorded. Eucalyptol was allowed to be inhaled by rabbits and lung compliance was monitored. Under our experimental conditions the volatile aromatics exhibited surfactant-like effects, namely a decrease in surface tension between water and air and thus improved lung compliance values in vivo.
将挥发性芳烃、桉叶油醇、桉叶油、樟脑和薄荷醇涂抹在合成二棕榈酰磷脂酰胆碱（DPL）膜和肺表面活性剂上；测量表面活性剂的初始表面压力，并记录额外的表面压力增量。让兔子吸入桉叶油醇，并监测肺顺应性。在我们的实验条件下，挥发性芳烃表现出类似表面活性剂的作用，即降低水与空气之间的表面张力，从而在体内提高肺顺应性值。
