Description

8-Benzyltheophylline is a hybrid molecule that consists of theophylline, a methylxanthine, and benzyl groups. It has pharmacological properties in rat brain membranes, where it acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist. 8-Benzyltheophylline has also been shown to be hypotensive in vivo and in vitro. It may act by inhibiting the sodium carbonate-induced release of calcium ions from intracellular stores or by binding to calcium channels. This drug is synthesized from theophylline and sodium carbonate, which are nucleophilic molecules that can undergo a substitution reaction with each other.
