Biochem/physiol Actions

Doxofylline (also known as doxophylline) has antitussive and bronchodilator effects. Doxofylline is used clinically in the treatment of asthma. Doxofylline has similar efficacy to theophylline, but unlike theophylline or other xanthines has little affinity for adenosine receptors and does not produce stimulant effects and has significantly fewer side effects.

Doxofylline acts and as a non-selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity. It has the potential to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
