3-(2-FURANYLMETHYL)-3,7-DIHYDRO-1,8-DIMETHYL-1H-PURINE-2,6-DIONE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Furafylline is a selective inhibitor of human cytochrome P450. It is also reported to inhibit the oxidation of caffeine.

Definition

ChEBI: Furafylline is an oxopurine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Furafylline (1,8-dimethyl-3-(2′ -furfuryl)methylxanthine) is a xanthine derivative. It is preferred in treating asthma. It serves as a N3-demethylation inhibitor of caffeine. Furafylline does not show much effect on human monooxygenase activities. It is considered as an efficient bronchodilator and as an inhibitor of anaphylactic reactions, when compared to theophylline.
