Curosurf is a natural surfactant obtained from pig lungs, containing almost exclusively phospholipids, in particular phosphatidylcholine (about 70% of the total phospholipid) and approximately 1% hydrophobic proteins with molecular weight SP - B (surfactant protein B) and SP - C (surfactant protein C).

(1) Surfactant protein B is protective against oxygen-induced lung injury (3) and its deficiency is associated with Sp-A and Sp-C accumulation within type II pneumocytes (4) and in alveolar spaces, (1) through mechanisms which are not entirely clear.

KL-4 is a 21-amino acid peptide with structural similarities to pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B), the surfactant protein most important for normal respiratory function.
