Doxofylline
• Last generation methylxanthine
derivative for airway obstructions
• Markedly lower affinity for adenosine
receptors
• As effective as the conventional
methylxanthines being a bronchodilator
with lower risk of adverse reactions
Doxofylline
• Shows favorable anti-inflammatory effects
in the airways
• Retains the inhibitory action on PDE-4 due
to its chemical structure (methylxanthine +
dioxolane substitution)
• No need for monitoring plasma drug levels
Tolerability of doxofylline in the
maintenance therapy of pediatric patients
with bronchial asthma
• 806 patients, aged 3-16 yo.
• Doxofylline (200mg sachets) 100-400
mg/d – 6 mg/kg/d q 12 hr
• More than one-half of the patients
received 3 or more drugs
• Reported side-effects 11%
- GI 76%, CNS 16%, palpitation 9%

Doxofylline-Clinical effecacy
in reducing weekly salbutamol consumption
In a multicentre,randomised trial on adult patient with
COPD given either doxyfylline 400 mg b.i.d
or Theophylline 300 mg b.i.d for 28 days
Consumption of salbutamol
Theophylline - 38%
Doxofylline - 47%
Doxofylline significantly decreased concurrent Salbutamol consumption

Doxofylline Safety - Clinical
• 48 studies, 1056 subjects
• Total prevalence of side-effects : 15.2%
• Overall risk for any adverse event :
1.8 events per patient-year
• Total dropouts : 3%
• Treatment interruptions for any reason:
0.4 per patient-year
Conclusion
• Inhaled steroids are the most effective
controller medications currently avaiable
• Multicenter study :- Theophylline serum
conc. <10mcg/ml provided nearly as
much effect as an inhaled steroids,
beclomethasone, in controlling chronic
asthma
Conclusion
• Sustained-release theophylline can be
used as an alternative to inhaled
steroids for maintenance therapy in
mild persistent asthma
• Sustained-release theophylline can be
added with a low dose inhaled steroids
in asthma control
Conclusion
• Doxofylline is effective in the long-term
treatment of obstructive pulmonary
diseases
• It is safer and has greater therapeutic
index than theophylline or
aminophylline
• Can be used in children, elderly,
patients with CVS,CNS and GI diseases
Conclusion
• There is no evidence that Doxofylline
effectiveness or adverse events are
related to blood levels
• As a consequence there is no need for
continued measurements blood level
during long-term treatment
