Like other methylated xanthine derivatives, pentoxifylline is a competitive nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor [20] which raises intracellular cAMP, activates PKA, inhibits TNF [21] [22] and leukotriene [23] synthesis, and reduces inflammation and innate immunity. [23]

As an anti-inflammatory, dapsone inhibits the myeloperoxidase-H 2 O 2-halide-mediated cytotoxic system in polymorphonucleocytes. [50] As part of the respiratory burst that neutrophils use to kill bacteria, myeloperoxidase converts hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) into hypochlorous acid (HOCl). HOCl is the most potent oxidant generated by neutrophils ...
Histamine intolerance is a presumed set of adverse reactions (such as flush, itching, rhinitis, etc.) to ingested histamine in food.
