Product Description: Pentifylline is a vasodilator with anti-inflammatory activity. Pentifylline inhibits platelet aggregation and thromboxane A2 synthesis, reduces the release of free radicals, and decreases the production of type 1 collagen and laminin in fibroblasts. Pentifylline has the potential to be studied in acute ischemic stroke[1][2].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C13H20N4O2
