Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Enprophylline is a xanthine derivative with bronchodilatory activity primarily through phosphodiesterase inhibition, elevating intracellular cAMP in airway smooth muscle. Unlike theophylline, it has minimal adenosine‑receptor antagonism.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in PDE‑inhibition assays, airway‑smooth muscle research, bronchodilator‑SAR studies, and asthma‑pathophysiology modelling.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include mild tachycardia, tremor, GI upset and CNS excitation at high doses. Handle with xanthine‑bronchodilator precautions.
