Denbufylline is a member of the alkaloid family and derived from the plant genus Denbufyllus. It is a selective xanthine derivative that inhibits PDE IV and has bronchodilatory properties. It has bee shown to exhibit negative inotropic effects by acting on verapamil-sensitive sites of Ca2+ channels in guinea pig ventricle papillary muscle independently of its PDE inhibitory activity. Additionally, Denbufylline has been found to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. Furthermore, it can modulate the activity of neurotransmitters.
