7-(β-Hydroxyethyl)-theophylline is a compound that functions as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase, which in turn leads to an increase in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. This increase in cAMP levels can result in various cellular responses, including smooth muscle relaxation, bronchodilation, and increased contractility of the heart muscle. 7-(β-Hydroxyethyl)-theophylline may have anti-inflammatory effects, which may be attributed to its ability to inhibit phosphodiesterase. At the molecular level, 7-(β-Hydroxyethyl)-theophylline interacts with the catalytic site of phosphodiesterase, preventing the hydrolysis of cAMP and thereby prolonging its intracellular effects. This mechanism of action makes 7-(β-Hydroxyethyl)-theophylline a for studying cellular signaling pathways and investigating the role of cAMP in various physiological processes.
