Previous preclinical and exploratory clinical studies suggest that therapeutic surfactants may improve mucociliary clearance, thereby potentially preventing further compromise of lung function.
-
Denufosol is designed to enhance airway hydration and mucociliary clearance by increasing chloride secretion, inhibiting sodium absorption and increasing ciliary beat frequency.
-
Denufosol is designed to enhance airway hydration and mucociliary clearance through receptor-mediated mechanisms that increase chloride secretion, inhibit sodium absorption and increase ciliary beat frequency.

Mutations in CFTR cause CF, and the initial pathophysiology of the lung disease involves defective ion transport, dehydration of the mucous layer, and reduced mucociliary and cough clearance.
