Descriptor teofilina
Scope note: Metilxantina obtenida del té, con acción diurética, relajante del músculo liso, dilatador bronquial y estimulante cardíaco y del sistema nervioso central. La teofilina inhibe la NUCLEÓTIDO FOSFODIESTERASA 3',5'-CÍCLICA que degrada el AMP CÍCLICO, potenciando las acciones de los agentes que actúan mediante la ADENILIL CICLASA y el AMP cíclico.

Scope note: A methyl xanthine derivative from tea with diuretic, smooth muscle relaxant, bronchial dilation, cardiac and central nervous system stimulant activities. Theophylline inhibits the 3',5'-CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHODIESTERASE that degrades CYCLIC AMP thus potentiates the actions of agents that act through ADENYLYL CYCLASES and cyclic AMP.
