Enprofylline_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Enprofylline acts as a selective and competitive A2B receptor antagonist with the Ki of 7 μM. Enprofylline also acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Enprofylline can be used for the research of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease[1][2][3].
Invitro	Enprofylline (300 μM) completely blocks the release of IL-8 by N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA)[1]. Enprofylline (10 μM) inhibits NECA (10 μM) induced proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner[2]. Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Line:
In Vivo	Enprofylline increases heart rate (HR). Injection of Enprofylline (7.5 and 30 mg/kg) increases HR in male WT mouse from 529±23 to 590±20 and 562±20 after the low and high dose, respectively[3]. A high dose of Enprofylline (30 mg/kg) also decreases temperature compared with saline injection in female (but not in males) WT mice, but a low dose (7.5 mg/kg) has little effect on mouse temperature[3].
