| Targets |
Etofylline's mechanism of action is multifaceted. It acts as a non-selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes, preventing the degradation of cyclic AMP (cAMP). This leads to smooth muscle relaxation. It also functions as an adenosine receptor antagonist, preventing adenosine's bronchoconstrictive and pro-inflammatory effects.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, etofylline demonstrates bronchodilatory activity in guinea pig trachea with 40% activity at 30 μg/ml. It also exhibits inhibition of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 transporters, with 64.41% and 86.25% inhibition, respectively. Its activity as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and adenosine antagonist has been characterized in various in vitro assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
Etofylline is used in vivo as an oral bronchodilator. It relieves bronchoconstriction by relaxing bronchial smooth muscle and reducing inflammatory responses, thereby improving respiratory function. It is used in the treatment of asthma and other obstructive airway diseases.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular enzyme assays for etofylline involve assessing its inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity using purified PDE enzyme preparations. The enzyme is incubated with a substrate (e.g., cAMP or cGMP) in the presence of varying concentrations of etofylline, and the rate of substrate hydrolysis is measured. IC₅₀ values for PDE inhibition are determined.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for etofylline involve treating smooth muscle cells or other cell types with the compound and measuring cAMP levels. Cells are treated with etofylline, and intracellular cAMP is measured by ELISA or radioimmunoassay. The compound's effect on bronchial smooth muscle contraction can be assessed using isolated tissue preparations in organ baths.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with etofylline are conducted in animal models of bronchoconstriction. Guinea pigs or rats are exposed to bronchoconstrictive agents (e.g., histamine, methacholine) and treated with etofylline. The compound's ability to reverse bronchoconstriction is assessed by measuring airway resistance or lung function parameters.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Etofylline has a molecular weight of 224.22 and a molecular formula of C₉H₁₂N₄O₃. It is a white crystalline powder with a purity of ≥98%. The compound is soluble in water and is typically stored at room temperature in a dry, dark place. It is well absorbed after oral administration.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Etofylline is generally well-tolerated. Compared to theophylline, it is associated with improved water solubility and a more favorable tolerability profile. Side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and tachycardia. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.15 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
