8-Bromotheophylline (CAS 10381-75-6)
QUICK LINKS
8-Bromotheophylline is a xanthine derivative that functions as a competitive non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor. It acts by inhibiting the breakdown of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to an increase in intracellular levels of these secondary messengers. 8-Bromotheophylline′s mechanism of action involves binding to the active site of phosphodiesterase enzymes, preventing the hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP. By doing so, 8-Bromotheophylline modulates various cellular processes regulated by these secondary messengers, such as smooth muscle relaxation, neurotransmitter release, and immune cell function. Its ability to inhibit phosphodiesterase activity, in studying the role of cAMP and cGMP signaling pathways in cellular physiology. Its non-selective nature allows for the investigation of the broader impact of phosphodiesterase inhibition on various cellular functions.
