Synonyms: (R)-lisophylline | CT-1501R
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Lisophylline is an active metabolite of pentoxifylline. The compound has novel anti-inflammatory properties, likely through inhibition of IL-12 signalling and STAT-4 activation [2]. It is reported to prevent type 1 diabetes in preclinical models [3] and improve the function and viability of isolated or transplanted pancreatic islets [1]. Evidence suggests that combined treatment with lisofylline (for its anti-inflammatory action) and exendin-4 (to enhance beta-cell proliferation) can reverse autoimmune diabetes in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model [4].
