Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP, INS316) is a naturally occurring agonist for P2Y(2) receptors on the apical surface of ciliated respiratory epithelium. INS316, being developed by Inspire Pharmaceuticals, is a short-acting, aerosolized uridine 5-triphosphate (UTP) solution used as a diagnostic aid for lung cancer. INS316 appears to improve sputum expectoration mediated through the P2Y2 receptor, a nucleotide receptor expressed in human airway epithelial cells and some other tissues. UTP binding to the P2Y2 receptor triggers signal transduction that leads to chloride ion secretion, thereby resulting in mucociliary clearance of airway. UTP stimulates salt and water transport and cilia beat frequency in human airway epithelium in vitro. Single, inhaled doses of UTP stimulate mucociliary clearance in conscious, intubated sheep and in patients with mild chronic bronchitis (smokers and former smokers), suggesting that UTP may be useful for obtaining deep-lung sputum specimens suitable for diagnostic purposes. A single dose of INS316 safely improves the ability of patients with mild chronic bronchitis to expectorate a deep-lung sputum specimen suitable for cytologic evaluation.

1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) ammonium salt (POPG-NH4) ia a phospholipid. Can be used as an emulsifier in pharmaceutical compositions. Used for lipid modification of superhydrophobic surfaces. POPG-NH4 transforms the surface into a highly hydrophilic surface only at the positions where the solution is applied.

There has been little to no interest in the biological and/or pharmacological application of lauryl phosphate.

Fosfructose is a cytoprotective natural sugar phosphate under development by Questcor (formerly Cypros) for the potential treatment of cardiovascular ischemia, sickle cell anemia and asthma. Fosfructose acts by stimulating anaerobic glycolysis which generates adenosine triphosphate under ischemic conditions and improve the cellular energy metabolism in ischemic and hypoperfused tissues. Hypoxia forces ischemic tissue to anaerobic glycolysis for energy, which yields two molecules of ATP per glucose in contrast to 36 molecules of ATP generated during oxidative phosphorylation . Addition of exogenous Fosfructose can produce two more molecules of ATP in an uncompensated anaerobic environment and hence facilitate the recovery of ischemia tissue. Fosfructose breaks down into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which will further break down into two molecules of pyruvate and finally produce two molecules of ATP. Other mechanisms include inhibition of the generation of oxygen free radicals by neutrophils, stabilization of cell membranes, and maintainance of the correct xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase ratio by preventing the depletion of phosphorylated compounds in ischemic tissues. In myocardial infarction patients, FDP can improve the hemodynamic parameters, attenuate ECG proven ischemic injury and arrhythmia, prevent ATP and creatine phosphate depletion from ischemic myocardium, reduce infarct size, and increase survival rate. Exogenously administered Fosfructose has also been proven beneficial for a variety of other ischemic organs, such as liver, kidney, bowel and even brain as a consequence of its ability to penetrate to the blood brain barrier. Fosfructose trisodium had been in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of heart transplant rejection. Fosfructose trisodium had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of heart failure, perioperativ eischaemia and reperfusion injury. Fosfructose trisodium had been in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of sickle cell anaemia. However, all these research has been discontinued. In China, FDP has been approved and marketed as a commercial drug.
