The synthesis and the pharmacological properties of enantiomeric derivatives of 7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)theophylline

Abstract
7-(S)-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)theophylline ((S)-I) and its enantiomer (R)-I were prepared by heating of the sodium salt of theophylline with 1-O-toluenesulfonyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glycerol or its L-enantiomer and subsequent acid hydrolysis. The two enantiomers I do not differ either by the inhibition of 3',5'-cAMP-phosphodiesterase, vasodilatatory activity on isolated guinea-pig aorta, or the effect on blood circulation of dogs in vivo.
