- W2070036336 abstract "1. Pentoxifylline (PTX), a derivative of the methylxanthine theobromine, has been used for many years in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases. Increased red blood cell flexibility, reduction of blood viscosity, and decreased potential of platelet aggregation are the basic actions of PTX, resulting in therapeutic benefits due to improved microcirculation and tissue oxygenation. 2. PTX's generally accepted mechanism of action is the inhibition of phosphodiesterases, leading to increased intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). 3. A number of studies have shown PTX's effects on the cytokine network. The most relevant clinical results are the therapeutic benefits of PTX in attenuating the effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in conditions such as septic shock. 4. PTX also has been found to exert antifibrogenic actions, using cultured fibroblasts or animal models of fibrosis, including liver fibrosis. 5. In hepatic stellate cell culture PTX has been shown to inhibit the basic reactions of liver fibrogenesis, being effective on cytokines and growth factors relevant in fibrogenesis of the liver, too. 6. Therefore, PTX might be an effective drug with few side effects in the treatment of liver fibrosis. Further clinical studies have to be done to establish the real therapeutic benefits of PTX in liver fibrosis and cirrhosis." @default.
