| Abstract | RATIONAL: Doxofylline is a xanthine drug that has been used as a treatment for respiratory diseases for more than 30 years. In addition to doxofylline being a bronchodilator, some studies have indicated that doxofylline also has anti-inflammatory properties, although little is known about the effect of this drug on lung inflammation. OBJECTIVES: We have investigated the actions of doxofylline against the effects of Escherichia coli LPS in the lungs of BALB/c mice. METHODS: Animals have been treated with doxofylline (0.1, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg i.p.) 24, -and 1 h before, and 6 h after intra-nasal instillation of LPS (10 µg/mouse). Readouts were performed 24 h later. RESULTS: Doxofylline at 1 and 0.3, but not at 0.1 mg/kg, significantly inhibit neutrophil recruitment to the lung induced by LPS (LPS: 208.4 ± 14.5 versus doxofylline: 1 mg/kg: 106.2 ± 4.8; 0.3 mg/kg: 105.3 ± 10.7 × 10(4) cells/ml). Doxofylline significantly inhibited IL-6 and TNF- release into BAL fluid in comparison to LPS-treated animals (LPS: 1255.6 ± 143.9 versus doxofylline 1 mg/kg: 527.7 ± 182.9; 0.3 mg/kg: 823.2 ± 102.3 pg/ml). Intra-vital microscopy of the tracheal tissue demonstrated that doxofylline significantly reduced LPS-mediated leukocyte adhesion to the vessel wall (LPS: 5.9 ± 2.4 versus doxofylline 0.3 mg/kg: 1.78 ± 0.87 cells/100 µm/15 s). Similarly, intra-vital microscopy of cremaster muscle demonstrated that doxofylline significantly reduced LPS-mediated leukocyte transmigration across the blood vessel wall (LPS: 9.3 ± 3.5 versus doxofylline0.3 mg/kg: 3.1 ± 1.87 cells/100 µm(2)). Doxofylline (0.1-10 µM) also reduced fMLP-induced leukocyte migration in vitro, achieving a maximum effect at 10 µM (fMLP: 37.8 ± 0.5 versus doxofylline 10 µM: 15.1 ± 1.2 cells × 10(4)/ml). CONCLUSION: Doxofylline inhibits LPS-induced inflammation in the lungs of mice. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
