Pharmacology

It is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor,[1] and also acts as an adenosine reuptake inhibitor.[1][2][3]

Uses

Propentofylline was studied as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia,[1][4] and has been studied, to a lesser extent, as a possible adjunct in the treatment of ischemic stroke, due to its vasodilating properties.[5][6]
