6. Preparation and Use of Theophylline
Preparation of Theophylline: It can be obtained by starting from dimethylurea and ethyl 2-cyanoacetate.
Uses of Theophylline: It has main actions, such as relaxing bronchial smooth muscle, increasing blood pressure and renal blood flow, increasing heart muscle contractility and efficiency; as a positive inotropic, increasing heart rate: positive chronotropic, some anti-inflammatory effects, central nervous system stimulatory effect mainly on the medullary respiratory center. It also can react with bromoethane to get 7-ethyl-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-purine-2,6-dione. This reaction needs reagent 10percent aq. NaOH, catalytic agent bromure de tetra-n-butylammonium and solvent CH2Cl2 at temperature of 40 °C. The reaction time is 24 hours. The yield is 96%.
