Theophylline
Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) is a natural methylxanthine found in tea that acts as a non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor, elevating intracellular cAMP levels. This mechanism underpins its research applications in studying bronchial relaxation, cardiac stimulation, and inflammatory pathways in both cellular and animal models.
