    Product Description

    Theophylline-d6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of theophylline (Item No. 23760) by GC- or LC-MS. Theophylline is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE; Ki = 100 µM).1 It is also an adenosine A1 and A2 receptor antagonist (Ki = 14 µM for both).2 Theophylline induces relaxation of isolated cat bronchial smooth muscle segments precontracted with acetylcholine (EC40 = 117 µM).3 It inhibits ovalbumin-induced increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) eosinophil infiltration in an ovalbumin-sensitized mouse model of allergic asthma. Formulations containing theophylline have been used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
