Enprofylline is a xanthine derivative that shares theophylline's bronchodilator properties. It can be considered a relatively selective, though not potent adenosine A2B receptors antagonist. Enprofylline is used in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and in the management of cerebrovascular insufficiency, sickle cell disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Long-term enprofylline administration may be associated with the elevation in liver enzyme levels and unpredictable blood levels.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The dosage of enprofylline was incremented from 150 mg twice daily at initiation to 300 and later 450 mg twice daily depending on the patient's tolerance.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Enprofylline antagonized the 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA)-induced stimulation of platelet adenylate cyclase activity with a Kb of 130 microM. In human platelets, enprofylline did not antagonize but potentiated the NECA-induced inhibition of aggregation. This potentiation was abolished in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor papaverine. An adenosine antagonistic effect of enprofylline could not be evaluated on A2 receptors of the guinea-pig lung because the xanthine enhanced basal and NECA-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. Enprofylline antagonized the N6-R-(-)-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA)-induced inhibition of rat fat cell adenylate cyclase with a Kb of 32 microM. The Ki value for inhibition of [3H]PIA binding to rat fat cell membranes was 45 microM. Enprofylline inhibited cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity of human platelets, guinea-pig lung and rat fat cells with Ki values of 15, 130 and 110 microM, respectively.
