Journal: Pentoxifylline as a therapeutic option for preeclampsia: a study on its placental effects. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 18, 2022 Its beneficial effects on the NO pathway and inflammation are not retained in pre-eclampsia, limiting its application in this disease, although it could be useful for other placenta-related disorders. Future studies might focus on selective A receptor antagonists as a new treatment for pre-eclampsia.

Journal: Interleukin-23 Mediates Osteoclastogenesis in Collagen-Induced Arthritis by Modulating MicroRNA-223. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2022 Lentiviral vectors expressing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting IL-23p19 and lisofylline (LSF) were injected intraperitoneally into arthritic mice...This study is the first to demonstrate that IL-23 promotes osteoclastogenesis by transcriptional regulation of miR-223 in murine macrophages and mice with CIA. Furthermore, our data indicate that LSF, a selective inhibitor of STAT4, should be an ideal therapeutic agent for treating RA through down-regulating miR-223-associated osteoclastogenesis.

Review, Journal: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and COVID-19: A Literature Review. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2022 Several pharmacological agents, including corticosteroids, nitric oxide, neuromuscular blocker, anti-TNF, statins, and exogenous surfactant, have been studied and some are under investigation, like ketoconazole, lisofylline, N-acetylcysteine, prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and fish oil. The purpose of this review is to appraise the understanding of the pathophysiology of ARDS, biomarkers, and clinical trials of pharmacological therapies of ARDS and COVID-19-related ARDS.

Journal: Role of Chain Length and Degree of Unsaturation of Fatty Acids in the Physicochemical and Pharmacological Behavior of Drug-Fatty Acid Conjugates in Diabetes. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2021 In the present study, four different FAs (linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and α-lipoic acid) were selected based on their chain length and degree of unsaturation and conjugated to Lisofylline (LSF), an antidiabetic molecule to obtain different drug-FA prodrugs and characterized for molecular weight, hydrophobicity, purity, self-assembly, and efficacy in vitro and in vivo in type 1 diabetes model...Diabetic animals treated with prodrugs, once daily for 5 weeks, maintained a steady fasting blood glucose level with a significant increase in insulin level, considerable restoration of biochemical parameters, and preserved β-cells integrity. Among the different LSF-FA prodrugs, LSF-OA and LSF-PA demonstrated the most favorable physicochemical, systemic pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles.

PK/PD data, Preclinical, Journal: Influence of inflammatory disorders on pharmacokinetics of lisofylline in rats: implications for studies in humans. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 Too low LSF serum levels might have been one of the reasons for clinical trial failures. A long-term i.v. infusion of LSF seems to be more effective compared to short-term multiple infusions that were used in clinical trials, as it may provide concentrations above IC for inhibition of both TNF-alpha release and cAMP degradation in serum for a longer period of time.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Pharmacological agents for adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 30, 2019 Three studies awaiting classification may alter the conclusions of this review. As the potential long-term consequences of ARDS are important to survivors, future research should incorporate a longer follow-up to measure the impacts on quality of life.
