Colfosceril Palmitate is a synthetic lung surfactant used mainly for the prevention and treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature newborns, helping them breathe by lubricating lung air spaces, administered via the endotracheal tube. It replaces the natural surfactant babies lack, reducing mortality and improving oxygenation, requiring careful monitoring by trained medical staff. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Palmitate De Colfosceril, Colfoscerili Palmitas, Dipalmitoyl lecithin and l-. Its PubChem CID is 452110.
