Monolayer surfactant films comprised of a mixture of phospholipids and perfluorinated (or partially fluorinated) surfactants are of potential utility for applications in pulmonary lung surfactant-based therapies. As a simple, minimal model of such a lung surfactant system, binary mixed monolayer films comprised of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and perfluorooctadecanoic acid (C18F) prepared on a simplified lung fluid mimic subphase (pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) have been characterized in terms of mixing thermodynamics and compressibility (measured through π-A compression isotherms), film morphology (via atomic force, fluorescence and Brewster angle microscopy), as well as spreading rate and hysteresis response to repeated expansion-contraction cycles for a variety of compositions of mixed films. Under all mixing conditions, films and their components were found to be completely immiscible and phase-separated, though there were significant changes in the aforementioned film properties as a function of composition. Of particular note was the existence of a maximum in the extent of immiscibility (characterized by ∆G_ex^π values) and enhanced surfactant recovery during hysteresis experiments at ΧC18F > 0.30. The latter was attributed to the relatively rapid re-spreading rate of the perfluorinated amphiphile in comparison with DPPC alone at the air-water interface, which enhances the performance of this mixture as a potential pulmonary lung surfactant. Further, monolayer film structure could be tracked dynamically as a function of compression at the air-water interface via Brewster angle microscopy, with the C18F component being preferentially squeezed out of the film with compression, but returning rapidly upon re-expansion. In general, addition of C18F to DPPC monolayers resulted in improvements to mechanical, structural and re-spreading properties of the film, indicating the potential value of these compounds as additives to pulmonary lung surfactant formulations. |
