Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Diprophylline (dyphylline) is a theophylline derivative with bronchodilator and mild diuretic properties. It inhibits phosphodiesterase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP, relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and improved airflow. It also antagonizes adenosine receptors, contributing to bronchodilation and CNS stimulation with reduced potency compared to theophylline.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in bronchodilationmechanism research, PDEinhibition studies, adenosinereceptor pathway modelling, and xanthine SAR investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include tachycardia, CNS stimulation (insomnia, tremor), GI upset and arrhythmias at high concentrations. Handle with xanthineclass bronchodilator precautions.
