CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Theophylline has two distinct actions in the airways of patients with
reversible
obstruction; smooth muscle relaxation (i.e., bronchodilation) and
suppression of the
response of the airways to stimuli (i.e., non-bronchodilator
prophylactic effects). While
the mechanisms of action of theophylline are not known with certainty,
studies in
animals suggest that bronchodilatation is mediated by the inhibition
of two isozymes of
phosphodiesterase (PDE III and, to a lesser extent, PDE IV) while
non-bronchodilator
prophylactic actions are probably mediated through one or more
different molecular
mechanisms, that do not involve inhibition of PDE III or antagonism of
adenosine
receptors. Some of the adverse effects associated with theophylline
appear to be
mediated by inhibition of PDE III (e.g., hypotension, tachycardia,
headache, and emesis)
and adenosine receptor antagonism (e.g., alterations in cerebral blood
flow).
