1 Effect of theophylline on the production of interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-8 by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Theophylline tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
2 TNF-alpha production was suppressed in a dose-dependent manner by theophylline, being decreased by 24% at 10 micrograms/ml (p < 0.05), by 29% at 25 micrograms/ml (p < 0.05), by 41% at 50 micrograms/ml (p < 0.01), and by 54% at 100 micrograms/ml (p < 0.01). Theophylline tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
3 Suppression of the production of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha by therapeutic levels of theophylline suggested that this drug might have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Theophylline tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
