Denbufylline is a selective xanthine derivative that inhibits PDE IV and has bronchodilatory properties. 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. Denbufylline, a selective type 4 phosphodiesterase (PDE-4) inhibitor, is a potent activator of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis when given orally or intraperitoneally (i.p.) to adult male rats. Denbufylline was being developed as an agent for the therapy of dementia.
CNS Activity
Curator's Comment: Patients who received denbufylline tended to improve in terms of cognitive scores, but the effects were not statistically significant. MMSE scores were found to be higher among patients who received denbufylline when these latter were combined as a single group, regardless of their diagnosis or dosage regimen. Denbufylline induced a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement in both SDAT and MID patients
