Answer: c
Theophylline binds non-selectively to phosphodiesterase
enzyme, inhibits it and increases cAMP levels, activates PKA, inhibits TNF α,
inhibits leukotriene synthesis thus reduces inflammation and innate immunity.
Theophylline also binds non-selectively to adenosine
receptors acting as adenosine antagonist at A1, A2 and A3 receptors almost
equally and thus produces cardiac effects.
