Diprophylline is a commonly used bronchodilator for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma and asthmatic bronchitis.
Basic Information:
English Name: Diprophylline
CAS Number: 479-18-5
Indications:
Diprophylline is primarily used to treat bronchial asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, obstructive pulmonary emphysema, and other respiratory diseases to alleviate asthmatic symptoms. It is also used in cardiac asthma caused by cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Diprophylline acts quickly, with a relatively short duration of action and low toxicity.
Pharmacological Action:
Diprophylline is a derivative of theophylline, and its bronchodilatory effect is similar to that of theophylline. It relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, relieves bronchospasm or constriction, improves ventilation function, and enhances diaphragmatic contractility, contributing to improved respiratory function.
