Description: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).
