:7-Methylxanthine
Description:
7-Methylxanthine is a purine derivative and a methylated form of xanthine, classified as a stimulant and a metabolite of caffeine and theobromine. It is characterized by its molecular formula, which includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms, reflecting its structure as a methylated xanthine. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water and organic solvents, which facilitates its use in various biochemical applications. 7-Methylxanthine exhibits biological activity, primarily acting as a central nervous system stimulant, and is known to influence adenosine receptors, similar to other xanthine derivatives. Its presence in certain plants and its role in metabolic pathways make it of interest in pharmacology and nutrition. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential effects on human health, including its role in enhancing cognitive function and athletic performance. As with other methylxanthines, it is important to consider its dosage and effects, as excessive consumption can lead to adverse reactions.

CAS:Controlled Product<p>7-Methylxanthine is a purine alkaloid that is the primary metabolite of caffeine. It is structurally related to theobromine, which is found in chocolate. 7-Methylxanthine has been shown to have hypoglycemic effects and may be useful for the treatment of myopia. The optimum concentration of 7-methylxanthine for inhibiting carotenoid biosynthesis has been determined as 10 μM. It also inhibits axial elongation in cultured chick retinal cells by reducing carotenoid levels and increasing p-hydroxybenzoic acid levels in the retina. The analytical method for quantifying 7-methylxanthine relies on high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC/UV).</p>Formula:C6H6N4O2Purity:Min. 96 Area-%Color and Shape:White PowderMolecular weight:166.14 g/mol
