Prostaglandin inhibitors such as indomethacin have been used for the treatment of renal colic. While opioids have a central analgesic effect, the effects of indomethacin are mainly peripheral, acting directly on the kidney. Pharmacourodynamic investigations of the upper urinary tract in men have dem

## Abstract Adenosine, a purine nucleoside found at high levels in solid tumors, is able to suppress the recognition/adhesion and effector phases of killer lymphocyteβmediated tumor cell destruction. Here, we demonstrate that adenosine, at concentrations that are typically present in the extracellu
The phosphodiesterase inhibitor pentoxifylline (POX), which is known to have pharmacological effects in animal models of multiorgan failure and endotoxinmediated shock, was tested for its immunosuppressive potential onT lymphocyte activation in vitro and in vivo. POX was found to have a profound inh
