Bioactivity | Doxofylline is an orally active PDE IV inhibitor and A1AR antagonist. Doxofylline reduces inflammation in epithelial cells via inhibiting mitochondrial ROS production and amelioration of multiple cellular pathways (NLRP3-TXNIP inflammasome activation). Doxophylline can be used in studies of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchospasm[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Target | Adenosine A1 receptor, phosphodiesterase IV. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Doxofylline (5, 10 µM; 48 h) shows potent protection against LPS-induced epithelial inflammation by reducing PGE2, NO release, and decreasing mitochondrial ROS generation in 16HBE cells[1].Doxofylline (5, 10 µM; 48 h) suppresses LPS-induced expression of NADPH oxidase subunits and TXNIP 16HBE cells[1].Doxofylline (5, 10 µM; 48 h) inhibits LPS-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and secretion of IL-1b and IL-18, as well as mitigates LPS-mediated SIRT1 reduction[1].Doxofylline (0.1-10 µM; 15 min) significantly reduces fMLP-induced leukocyte migration in BM cells (fMLP: Formyl-Methionyl-Leucyl-Phenylalanine)[2].

In Vivo | Doxofylline (0.3, 1 mg/kg; i.p.; single) inhibits LPS-induced inflammation in the lungs of mice[2].Doxofylline (0.3 mg/kg; i.p.; pre-treat; single) notably reduces the adhesion of cells to the vascular tissue and surpresses the expression of LPS-induced ICAM-1 in vivo[2].
