TAS 205 is an inhibitor of hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (H-PGDS; IC50= 55.8 nM).1It is selective for H-PGDS over lipocalin-type PGDS (L-PGDS) at 100 μM, as well as over enzyme and receptor panels at 10 μM. TAS 205 inhibits production of prostaglandin D2induced by A23187 in KU812 human and RBL-2H3 rat basophils with IC50values of 78.3 and 181.3 nM, respectively. It inhibits ovalbumin-induced nasal lavage fluid eosinophil infiltration and late-phase nasal obstruction in an ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pig model of allergic rhinitis when administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg.

Theophylline-D6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of theophylline by GC- or LC-MS. Theophylline (T1083) is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase. It is also an adenosine A1 and A2 receptor antagonist. Theophylline (T1083)induces relaxation of isolated cat bronchial smooth muscle segments precontracted with acetylcholine. It inhibits ovalbumin-induced increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)eosinophil infiltration in an ovalbumin-sensitized mouse model of allergic asthma. Formulations containing theophylline have been used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
