IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine), like other methylxanthine derivatives, is both a:

  1. competitive non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor[1] which raises intracellular cAMP, activates PKA, inhibits TNFα[2][3] and leukotriene[4] synthesis, and reduces inflammation and innate immunity,[4] and
  2. nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist.[5]

As a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, IBMX has IC50 = 2–50 μM[6] and does not inhibit PDE8 or PDE9.[7]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
