• Description: Tovophyllin A is a methylxanthine compound, which is an alkaloid derived from natural plant sources. It is primarily found in abundance within the seeds, leaves, and fruit of various plants, including coffee beans, tea leaves, and cocoa seeds. The mode of action of Tovophyllin A involves the inhibition of phosphodiesterase enzymes, which leads to an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. This biochemical action results in smooth muscle relaxation, notably within the bronchial airways, thereby exhibiting bronchodilator effects.
