Biological Activity

Description IBMX (Isobutylmethylxanthine, 1-Methyl-3-Isobutylxanthine) is a nonspecific inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) with IC50 values of 6.5±1.2, 26.3±3.9 and 31.7±5.3 μM for PDE3, 4 and 5 respectively. It may enhance the intracellular cAMP levels and also acts as an adenosine (A1) receptor antagonist.
Targets
PDE3 [1] PDE4 [1] PDE5 [1]
6.5 μM 26.3 μM 31.7 μM
In vitro

IBMX rescues PGE2-induced phosphorylation of AKT inhibited in cells from the EP4LysM mice, which protects against cAMP degradation.[3]
In vivo

IBMX decreases the liver glycogen storage in both species of mice and hyperglycemic rat.[4]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[3]
  • Cell lines

    Bone marrow macrophages of Ep4fl/fl and Ep4LysM mice

  • Concentrations

    1 mM

  • Incubation Time

    3 h

  • Method

    The cells are treated either with osteoclastogenic media (10 ng/mL M-CSF and 50 ng/mL RANKL) alone, with PGE2 (100 nM), or PGE2 with IBMX (1 mM) for 3 h. A BCA Protein Assay Kit is used to determine the protein concentration.
Animal Study:

[4]
  • Animal Models

    Male mice (25-35 g), adult Wistar rats (250-350 g) of hyperglycemic model

  • Dosages

    1 mg/kg dosage twice a day

  • Administration

    s.c.
