Propentofylline is a xanthine derivative with purported neuroprotective effects.

Pharmacology

It is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor.

It also inhibits adenosine uptake.cite journal |author=Frampton M, Harvey RJ, Kirchner V |title=Propentofylline for dementia |journal=Cochrane Database Syst Rev |volume= |issue=2 |pages=CD002853 |year=2003 |pmid=12804440 |doi=10.1002/14651858.CD002853 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD002853]

Uses

It is being studied as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia. [cite journal |author=Frampton M, Harvey RJ, Kirchner V |title=Propentofylline for dementia |journal=Cochrane database of systematic reviews (Online) |volume= |issue=2 |pages=CD002853 |year=2003 |pmid=12804440 |doi=10.1002/14651858.CD002853] [cite journal |author=Kittner B, Rössner M, Rother M |title=Clinical trials in dementia with propentofylline |journal=Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. |volume=826 |issue= |pages=307–16 |year=1997 |pmid=9329701 |doi=]

Propentofylline has also been studied, to a lesser extent, as a possible adjunct in the treatment of ischemic stroke, due to its vasodilating properties.
