[Effect of pentoxifylline on the dissociation curve of oxyhemoglobin]. 1983

F Grandillo, and R Giunta, and G Scognamiglio, and A Tirelli, and L Coppola, and R Torella

In 9 subjects with peripheral vascular insufficiencies the AA. have studied the behaviour of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve before and after pentoxyphilline infusion. After this drug no variations were observed as it regards MCHC, 2-3-DPG and so on; however a positive correlation was found between 2-3-DPG and the Hill number. These results suggest that 2-3-DPG may influence the Hill number (which is the expression of the gradient of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve) and therefore may interfere with O2 transport.

D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346) Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D010108 Oxyhemoglobins A compound formed by the combination of hemoglobin and oxygen. It is a complex in which the oxygen is bound directly to the iron without causing a change from the ferrous to the ferric state. Oxycobalt Hemoglobin,Oxycobalthemoglobin,Oxyhemoglobin,Hemoglobin, Oxycobalt
D010431 Pentoxifylline A METHYLXANTHINE derivative that inhibits phosphodiesterase and affects blood rheology. It improves blood flow by increasing erythrocyte and leukocyte flexibility. It also inhibits platelet aggregation. Pentoxifylline modulates immunologic activity by stimulating cytokine production. Agapurin,BL-191,Oxpentifylline,Pentoxil,Torental,Trental,BL 191,BL191

D001157 Arterial Occlusive Diseases Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.

D013805 Theobromine 3,7-Dimethylxanthine. The principle alkaloid in Theobroma cacao (the cacao bean) and other plants. A xanthine alkaloid that is used as a bronchodilator and as a vasodilator. It has a weaker diuretic activity than THEOPHYLLINE and is also a less powerful stimulant of smooth muscle. It has practically no stimulant effect on the central nervous system. It was formerly used as a diuretic and in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, pp1318-9)
