Description

Taxiphyllin is a synthetic theophylline derivative with bronchodilator activity. It is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, meaning it prevents the breakdown of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which leads to relaxation of smooth muscle in the airways. Taxiphyllin has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its effects on the respiratory system are similar to those of theophylline, but it has a longer duration of action. It is often used in combination with other bronchodilators and corticosteroids for optimal symptom management.'

Drug Classes (2)

ClassDescription
beta-D-glucosideAny D-glucoside in which the anomeric centre has beta-configuration.
nitrileA compound having the structure RC#N; thus a C-substituted derivative of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. In systematic nomenclature, the suffix nitrile denotes the triply bound #N atom, not the carbon atom attached to it.
