Abstract

A series of analogues of pentoxifylline metabolites were prepared in the purine, pteridine,[1, 2, 5] thiadiazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidine, and quinazoline ring systems and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) in human peripheral blood monocytes stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The more active compounds were also tested for inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE IV) from ...
