Application

Pentoxifylline has been used:
  • used in the combinatorial treatment with itraconazole for paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM)
  • to treat harvested sperms to check the effect of ′pentoxifylline exposed sperms′ in the contribution of embryonic growth
  • to intrathecally inject female and male mice to investigate whether astrocytes and microglia could be causally involved in the maintenance of pain-like behaviour

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pentoxifylline (PTX) is considered as a nonspecific phosphodiesterase inhibitor. It possesses rheologic properties. Pentoxifylline is used to treat peripheral vascular disease. It has the ability to block the phosphorylation of I kappa B-alpha (IĸBα) in serines 32 and 36.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitor; inhibits synthesis of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cyclic Nucleotides

Cyclic nucleotides, including cyclic AMP (cAMP), cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic ADP-ribose, have been extensively studied as second messengers of intracellular events initiated by activation of GPCRs. cAMP modifies cell function in all eukaryotic cells, principally through the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), but also through cAMP-gated ion channels and guanine nucleotide exchange factors directly activated by cAMP.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
