Pioneers of surfactant research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pioneers of surfactant research is a list of people who were instrumental in the development of pulmonary surfactants for the treatment of infant respiratory distress syndrome.[1][2]
| Year | Names | Rationale | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| The early pioneers of surfactant research included Von Neergaard, Pattle, Clements and Macklin | |||
| 1929 | Kurt Neergaard | Neergaard used a porcine lung to calculate pressure-volume statistics. He suggested surface tension in neonates with breathing difficulties should be investigated further. | [3] |
| 1947 | Peter Gruenwald | Gruenwald repeated Neergaard experiments on stillborn infants and discovered "the resistance to aeration is due to surface tension which counteracts the entrance of air". He suggested the presence of pulmonary surfactant. | [4] |
| 1954 | Charles Macklin | Macklin, a pathologist was working with phosgene in a chemical warfare laboratory when he discovered a granular substance that was discharged into the alveoli that was responsible for surface tension. | [5] |
| 1955 | Richard Pattle | Pattle, a physicist, discovered that nerve agents caused long-lived air-bubbles in the alveoli of rabbits and posited that the absence of a lining in neonates would make breathing difficult. | [6] |
| 1957 | John Allen Clements | Clements, a physiologist, released a report on how nerve agents damaged lungs. He went on to discover pulmonary surfactant and posited that its absence was the cause of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). | [7] |
| Mid 20th Century pulmonary surfactant research was dominated by Avery and Mead | |||
| 1959 | Mary Ellen Avery | Working with Jeremiah Mead showed that RDS occurred due to a deficiency of lung surfactant. | [8] |
| Jeremiah Mead | Together with Mary Ellen Avery, published a study that linked RDS with a deficiency of lung surfactant. | [8] | |
| Animal research with natural surfactants | |||
| 1972 | Goran Enhorning | Published a study that showed that preterm rabbits treated with a natural surfactant lived longer. | [9] |
| Bengt Robertson | Published a study that showed that preterm rabbits treated with a natural surfactant lived longer. | [9] | |
| 1973 | Goran Enhorning | Published a study that showed that deposition of natural surfactant into the pharynx was also effective. | [10] |
| Bengt Robertson | Published a study that showed that deposition of natural surfactant into the pharynx was also effective | [10] | |
| 1978 | Forest Adams | Adams and his colleagues conducted a study with a natural bovine surfactant on preterm lambs. The study showed the characteristic features of RDS were reduced by the presence of the surfactant. | [11] |
| Initial clinical trials using natural surfactants | |||
| 1980 | Tetsurō Fujiwara | Fujiwara and his colleagues treated 10 preterm infants with a modified natural surfactant extracted from cattle lungs. Arterial oxygen tension increased in the infants within a short period. The trial clearly showed the beneficial effects from the surfactant treatment. | [12] |
| 1990 | Bengt Robertson | Created a new surfactant Curosurf that was based on porcine lungs that had gone through an additional step of liquid gel chromatography leaving only polar lipids and SP-B and SP-C. | [13] |
| Tore Curstedt | Curstedt, a clinical chemist provided the necessary expertise in chemistry to synthesize Curosurf. | [13] | |
| Period of large randomised trials with many different surfactants | |||
| 1995 | Henry Halliday | Halliday conducted a review of several trials of surfactant to assess their viability. | [14] |
| 1997 | Roger F. Soll | Between 1997 to 1999, Soll, a neonatologist, published 4 reviews in the Cochrane Library that examined different surfactant doses for RDS. | [15][16] |
| 1999 | Christian Con Yost | Yost, a neonatologist and Soll, published a study on early versus delayed selective surfactant treatments for RDS. | [17] |
| Roger F. Soll | Yost and Soll published a study on early versus delayed selective surfactant treatments for RDS. | [17] | |
| 2000 | Roger F. Soll | Soll and Morley published a meta-analysis study of studies into prophylaxis versus selective use in preterm infants with lung disease. | [18] |
| Colin Morley | Morley, a paediatrician, along with Soll conducted a meta-analysis of studies in preterm infants with lung disease where the "benefits of prophylactic surfactant could no longer be demonstrated". | [18] | |
| 2001 | Roger F. Soll | In 2001, Soll and Fermin Blanco conducted a meta-analysis of studies to compare the use of natural surfactant against synthetic surfactants in preterm infants with RDS. | [19] |
| Fermin Blanco | Blanco, a neonatologist and Soll concluded that "natural surfactant extracts would seem to be the more desirable choice when compared to currently available synthetic surfactants". | [19] | |
| 2002 | Timothy P. Stevens | Stevens, Blennow, Soll ran a randomised clinical trial to test two treatment options for preterm infants with RDS. It compared early surfactant administration with ventilation followed by extubation to selective surfactant administration, continuous ventilation followed by extubation. The study found | [20] |
| Mats Blennow | [20] | ||
| Roger F. Soll | Stevens, Blennow, Soll concluded that a lower treatment threshold measured as FIO<0.45 that reduced the occurrence of air-leaks in infants with RDS. | [20] | |
| Period of trials to compare natural surfactants | |||
| 1995 | Matthias Griese | Greise and his colleagues tested several different compositions of lipid-extracted natural bovine surfactants Survanta or Alveofact to test their efficacy. | [21] |
| 1995 | Christian P. Speer | Speer and his colleagues tested Curosurf against Survanta in neonates with RDS. Speer found Curosurf treatment resulted in a more rapid improvement in oxygenation than Survanta. | [22] |
| 1995 | Colleen Ann Malloy | Malloy and her colleagues tested Survanta and Curosurf in neonates with RDS. The trial showed that neonates treated with Curosurf had higher FIO2 levels and reduced Patent ductus arteriosus that those neonates treated with Survanta. | [23] |
| 1997 | Barry T. Bloom | Bloom et al. ran a trial to compare Infasurf, a surfactant prepared from calf lungs to Survanta. The trial concluded that Infasurf has a "modest" benefit in the treatment of infants with RDS over Survanta | [24] |
| 1999 | Bart Van Overmeire | Overmeire et. all ran a trial to compare Alveofact with Survanta. Alveofact was a pulmonary surfactant prepared from SF-RI1 bovine lung lavage.[25] | [26] |
| 2004 | Ramanathan Rangasamy | The paediatrician Ramanathan and his colleagues ran a controlled trial where they compared Curosurf to Survanta, a bovine pulmonary surfactant with the addition of synthetic DPPC, tripalmitin and palmitic acid. The study found that Curosurf was more effective, describing Curosurf as offering "a rapid reduction in supplemental oxygen with fewer additional doses of surfactant" | [27] |
| 2005 | Barry T. Bloom | Bloom et al., in the second and third of three studies to compare Infasurf and Survanta. Both trials were cancelled due to insufficient enrollment numbers. | [28] |
| Comparison trials with a new synthetic surfactant | |||
| 2005 | Fernando R Moya | Moya and his colleagues compared a new synthetic surfactant Lucinactant (trade name Surfaxin) against Colfosceril palmitate (trade name Exosurf) and Survanta. Lucinactant is a synthetic surfactant with 21-amino acid peptide (leucine and lysine repeating units, KL4 peptide) that mimics Surfactant protein B added. The multi-centre trial with more than 1000 neonates in South America, found that Lucinactant significantly improved RDS at the 24 hour period compared with Colfosceril with no difference with Survanta. At 36 weeks, mortality was reduced using Lucinactant as the treatment compared to Survanta. | [29] |
| 2005 | Sunil Kumar Sinha | Sinha his colleagues compared a new synthetic surfactant Lucinactant with Curosurf. This trial involving 252 neonates found that each were similar in terms of their effect and safety when treating neonates with RDS. However this South American trial had to be stopped after it was extended to 24 months due to lack of candidates being recruited. | [30] |
| Science of synthetic surfactants | |||
| 2006 | Tore Curstedt | Curstedt and Johansson of the Karolinska Institute reviewed several newer synthetic surfactants and came to the conclusion that KL4 acetate peptide mimics SP-C as it "forms a transmembrane alpha helix" rather than SP-B, which is essential for surfactant function. | [31][32] |
| Janne Johansson | |||
| 2007 | Frans J. Walther | In this trial, Walther and his colleagues conducted a review of recent research developments with peptide analogues of SP-B and SP-C. | [33] |
| 2009 | Frans J. Walther | Walther and his colleagues tried to identify the most efficacious composition of SP-B (1–25), a synthetic peptide, potentially useful in a synthetic surfactant. They compared the compositions in natural lung lavage (NL) as against synthetic lung lavage (SL) and a standard lipid mixtures (LM). Calfactant and a peptide free lipid compositon was used as the control. In the study that used rats, it found that lung volume was greater when treated with Calfactant and SP-B (1–25) in NL and SL mixtures compared to a similar composition using LM. | [34] |
| Development of different adminstration methods | |||
| 1991 | Roderic H. Phibbs | Phibbs and his colleagues tested the synthetic surfactant, Colfosceril palmitate, trade name Exosurf that was administed via rapid installation intratracheally in neonates with RDS in two trials. The study found that in the treated group, 36% of neonates either had a relapse or incomplete response. In the group that were treated, survival increased significantly. | [35] |
| 1991 | Walker Long | Long and his colleagues tested the efficacy of Exosurf in a multicenter trial across 21 hospitals with 419 preterm infants with RDS. The group treated the rescue group with a slow instillation through a side port adapter attached to the endotracheal tube and the other group with a placebo. Two doses were given, the first between 2 and 24 hours, the second 12 hours later. The study found that the synthetic surfactant improved survival rates amongst infants with RDS. | [36]
