Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to theophylline hydrate (CAS RN 5967-84-0), theophylline magnesium (CAS RN 12286-42-9), theophylline sodium (CAS RN 3485-82-3), theophylline olamine (CAS RN 573-41-1), theophylline isopropanolamine (CAS RN 5600-19-1), theophylline sodium acetate (CAS RN 8002-89-9), theophylline ethylenediamine (CAS RN 5768-49-0), and theophylline sodium glycinate (CAS RN 8000-10-0). Theophylline is a methylxanthine indicated to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Theophylline exerts two distinct actions in the lungs; bronchodilation through smooth muscle relaxation and suppression of airway stimuli. The true mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. However, it is suggested that bronchodilation is mediated by inhibition of two isoenzymes, phosphodiesterase (PDE III) and PDE IV while nonbronchodilation effects are mediated through other molecular mechanisms. Theophylline also appears to increase the force of contraction of diaphragmatic muscles through enhancement of calcium uptake through adenosine-mediated channels.
