Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a methylxanthine derivative that produces pharmacological effects by mechanisms as phosphodiesterase inhibition, increase in cAMP and cGMP levels and antagonism of A2A adenosine receptors. The drug also shows anti- inflammatory properties, due to the inhibition of TNF-alpha synthesis. The present work studied, by behavioral, neurochemical, histological and immunohistochemical methods, the possible neuroprotective PTX effects in an experimental model of Parkinson’s disease (PD), in vivo (striatal lesion with 6-OHDA in rats) and in vitro (SN-SY5Y cells). For the in vivo study, male Wistar rats (220-250 g) were divided into groups of 9 to 20 animals each, as follows: sham-operated (SO, subjected to a striatal injection ...
