 Use of Theophylline monohydrate


Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate is a potent phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor, adenosine receptor antagonist, and histone deacetylase (HDAC) activator. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate inhibits PDE3 activity to relax airway smooth muscle. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate has anti-inflammatory activity by increase IL-10 and inhibit NF-κB into the nucleus. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate induces apoptosis. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate can be used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) research[1][2][3][4][5].

Human Endogenous Metabolite

In Vitro Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate (1-1000 µM) inhibits cAMP hydrolysis by PDE in homogenates of bronchial tissue to relax human bronchus and pulmonary arteries[1]. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate (10 µg/mL; 24 h; eosinophils) induces apoptosis through a reduction in the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2[2]. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate (0-500 µM; 2 h; A549 cells) inhibits NF-κB activation, I kappa B alpha (I-κBα) degradation and decreases the level of IL-6 in a concentration-dependent manner[3]. Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) monohydrate (0-1000 µM; 30 min; A549 cells) induces histone deacetylase activity to decrease inflammatory gene expression[4]. Western Blot Analysis[3] Cell Line: A549 cells Concentration: 0, 20, 100 and 500 µM Incubation Time: 2 hours Result: Decreased the expression of NF-κB p65 and I-κBα degradation in a concentration-dependent manner. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Line: Eosinophils Concentration: 10 µg/mL Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Decreased the expression of Bcl-2.
In Vivo Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) (100 mg/kg; i.p.; daily, for 9 d; male Swiss mice) has anti-inflammatory activity in mice and increases IL-6 and IL-10 levels and inhibits TNF-α and NO[1]. Animal Model: Male Swiss mice[1] Dosage: 100 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; daily, for 9 days Result: Increased IL-6 and IL-10 levels and inhibited TNF-α and NO.
