Propentofylline (HWA 285) is a xanthine derivative drug with purported neuroprotective effects.

Pharmacology

It is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor,[1] and also acts as an adenosine reuptake inhibitor.[1][2][3]

Uses

Propentofylline was studied as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia,[4][5] and has been studied, to a lesser extent, as a possible adjunct in the treatment of ischemic stroke, due to its vasodilating properties.[6][7]

Propentofylline is in use as a veterinary medicine in older dogs.[8]
