Effect of pentoxifylline on energy rich phosphates in rat's erythrocytes

V Stefanovich. Res Commun Chem Pathol Pharmacol. 1975 Apr.

Abstract

After an oral administration of 5 mg/kg pentoxifylline (3, 7-dimethyl-1-(5-oxo-hexyl)-xanthine, Trental -R) increases significantly total adenine nucleotides content, ATP and AMP, and decreases significantly ADP in rat's erythrocytes. This increased ATP level is likely partly responsible for the therapeutic effect of pentoxifylline in the disturbed peripheral circulation.
