Nasal Mucosal Surfactant Film (N/A)
- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Lipid Mixture, Protein Complex, Phospholipid Mixture, Surfactant Protein Aggregate
01
Overview
The nasal mucosal surfactant film is a thin layer of phospholipids and surfactant proteins that lines the nasal mucosa. It reduces surface tension, supports mucociliary clearance, provides a barrier against pathogens, and maintains airway hydration. Disruptions in this film can lead to impaired self-cleansing and increased susceptibility to infection and inflammation, making it a therapeutic target for conditions like rhinosinusitis and dry nose.

02
Mechanism of action
Restores or reinforces natural surfactant film; reduces surface tension; supports mucociliary clearance; enhances barrier function against pathogens; promotes airway hydration.
