CAS 611-59-6

Paraxanthine

Description:

Paraxanthine, with the CAS number 611-59-6, is a methylxanthine derivative and a metabolite of caffeine. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a purine base with three methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atoms at positions 1, 3, and 7. Paraxanthine is known for its stimulant properties, similar to caffeine, and is primarily found in the human body as a result of caffeine metabolism. It exhibits various pharmacological effects, including increased lipolysis and enhanced physical performance, making it of interest in both nutritional and sports science contexts. Paraxanthine is soluble in water and exhibits a relatively low toxicity profile. Its role in the central nervous system includes the inhibition of phosphodiesterase, leading to increased levels of cyclic AMP, which contributes to its stimulant effects. Research continues to explore its potential therapeutic applications and effects on human health, particularly in relation to energy metabolism and cognitive function.

Controlled Product

CAS: 611-59-6

Paraxanthine is a metabolite of caffeine that has been shown to be an effective blood pressure-lowering agent in humans. It causes vasodilation by inhibiting the phosphodiesterase enzyme, which leads to the activation of nitric oxide synthase and the production of nitric oxide. Paraxanthine also inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and blocks calcium channels, which are both involved in blood pressure regulation. Paraxanthine has been shown to have toxicological effects on wastewater treatment systems because it is not biodegradable and can inhibit the growth of bacteria that break down organic matter. This drug is being studied as a model system for vivi human research because it is structurally similar to caffeine and has similar pharmacological activity.
