Date Dec. 7, 1995Polypeptide analogs of human the human lung surfactant protein, SP-C, are provided. The polypeptides have the following structure: wherein A is H or Phe, B is Phe or Trp, and C is Ile, Leu, or Ser. They exhibit surfactant activity and are useful in the treatment of respiratory distress syndromes in premature infants and adults.
