Description

Caffeine is a stimulant that is found in coffee, tea, and some soft drinks. It can also be used to treat certain medical conditions. Caffeine is a reactive molecule that binds to human serum proteins and has been shown to have chronic oral toxicity in rats. The methylation of caffeine leads to the formation of 1-methylxanthine, which has been shown to cause cancer in animal models when given chronically. Caffeine's carcinogenic effects are due to its ability to induce DNA mutations by reacting with oxygen radicals and oxidizing DNA bases as well as inhibiting DNA repair enzymes. Caffeine's chemical diversity makes it difficult for researchers to study its carcinogenicity.
