Enprofylline, a xanthine-derivative shown experimentally to lack universal adenosine receptor antagonism, has been examined in patients with partly reversible, chronic, obstructive lung disease. Significant bronchodilation was produced by enprofylline 2 mg/kg, giving a peak plasma concentration of
Thanks to recent biochemical and neuroendocrine findings, migraine belonging to the group of primary headaches appears as a pathology of the antinociceptive system with evolutive character. It has been demonstrated, in fact, that right at the early stage of migraine, there is a significant reduction
OBJECTIVE
To review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical trial data, safety profile, precautions, and place in therapy of febuxostat, a novel nonpurine xanthine oxidase inhibitor in development for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout.
METHODS
Available studies and abstracts were
BACKGROUND
Xanthine oxidase inhibitors are commonly used to lower uric acid levels in patients with gout. Due to their effects on endothelial function, they have also been investigated for possible benefits for patients with cardiovascular disease.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy and safety of
BACKGROUND
Xanthines have been used in the treatment of asthma as a bronchodilator, though they may also have anti-inflammatory effects. The current role of xanthines in the long-term treatment of childhood asthma needs to be reassessed.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of xanthines (e.g.
The bronchodilating effect of two doses of peroral enprofylline was compared with placebo in 24 asthmatic patients. Enprofylline produced significantly greater bronchodilatation than placebo. A dose of 2 mg/kg b.wt. and 4 mg/kg b.wt. caused a mean maximal increase in FEV1 of 26% and 35%,
Jet lag is a symptom complex resulting from travel across time zones, which can incapacitate travellers for several days. It is a result of the abrupt changes forced on travellers' sense of time, place and wellbeing, and on their internal cycles. It is manifested in its early phase by exhaustion out
The efficacy and safety of different regimens of intravenously administered enprofylline, an anti-asthma xanthine, were evaluated in a randomized open study, including 155 patients with acute exacerbation of obstructive lung disease. The regimen 2.5 mg/kg i.v. over 10 min was canceled after seven
Enprofylline, a recently developed xanthine derivative, is a more potent bronchodilator than theophylline. This study compares the efficacy and safety of enprofylline with theophylline for chronic obstructive airways disease (COAD) in elderly subjects. The study was of a randomized double-blind
Doxofylline is an effective bronchodilator for relieving airway obstruction in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and displays a better safety profile with respect to theophylline. Herein, we performed a pairwise meta-analysis of the currently available data to
This was an open-label study in 19 children aged 9-13 years, weighing 27-44 kg, with bronchial asthma. Twenty-four-hour steady-state concentrations of theophylline and its metabolites 1,3-dimethyl uric acid, 3-methyl xanthine and 1-methyl uric acid were assessed after daily dosing of 600 mg (ca 18
Molybdenum is found in most foods, with legumes, dairy products, and meats being the richest sources. This metal is considered essential because it is part of a complex called molybdenum cofactor that is required for the three mammalian enzymes xanthine oxidase (XO), aldehyde oxidase (AO), and
The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a complex of symptoms that usually occurs seven to ten days before menses in large numbers of women. These symptoms typically cease during the 24 hours after the onset of menses. PMS affects many areas of the body, with each afflicted woman having her personal set
Fifteen asthmatic outpatients were randomly treated during two periods of 14 days each with sustained-release preparations of either enprofylline (3-propyl-xanthine) or theophylline (Theo-Dur) in a double-blind crossover study. After 4 days of treatment the mean daily doses of enprofylline and
Twenty-five asthmatic outpatients were treated for 3 one-week periods with either enprofylline slowly eroding 300 mg tablets t.i.d., theophylline 300 mg tablets (Theo-Dur) t.i.d., or placebo in a double-blind, cross-over, randomized trial. Sixteen patients were able to complete 2 or 3 one-week
