Product Description
Theophylline is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H8N4O2, which can reduce smooth muscle tone and dilate the respiratory tract; Can promote the release of endogenous adrenaline and norepinephrine, and relax airway smooth muscle; Inhibit the release of calcium ions from smooth muscle endoplasmic reticulum, reduce intracellular calcium ion concentration, and produce respiratory tract dilation. Theophylline has a strong relaxing effect on smooth muscles, but not as strong as beta agonists.
Application
1.Treatment of asthma: Theophylline can help alleviate asthma symptoms by dilating the bronchial passages and increasing muscle relaxation.
2.Treatment of heart disease: Theophylline can serve as a vasodilator, helping to improve symptoms of heart disease.
