Breast cancer and methylxanthine consumption

Cancer Causes and Control, 1992
The well-publicized hypothesis that consumption of methylxanthines (e.g., caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline) may increase the risk of breast cancer in women has not been confirmed by most epidemiologic studies, which have reported no effect or only a small increase in breast cancer risk with caffeine.

Analytical Methods For Quantitation of Methylxanthines

1997
The methylxanthines can be determined in foods and biological systems by the chromatographic methods of TLC, GC, and HPLC. Ultraviolet spectroscopy following a separation procedure is also still used. More recently immunoassay methods have been developed. There is no single best method; the analyst must balance the features of each assay with the final

Pharmacokinetics of diuretics and methylxanthines in the neonate

European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1980
The elimination of diuretics and methylxanthines is considerably slower in the neonate than in the adult. Dose guidelines, especially during long term maintenance, must be adjusted to account for this slower drug elimination. Pharmacokinetic studies and the requisite pharmacologic evaluation on diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone ...

Mechanism of respiratory effects of methylxanthines

Respiration Physiology, 1983
Neural respiratory responses to theophylline, aminophylline and ethylenediamine were determined in paralyzed, vagotomized and glomectomized cats whose end-tidal PCO2 and brain temperature were kept constant. Intravenous theophylline and aminophylline similarly stimulated respiration, but ethylenediamine had no effect.

Doxofylline: The next generation methylxanthine

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008
Methylxanthines are widely used in the treatment of asthma. Being one of the few drugs that can be administered orally, they are especially helpful in resource restricted settings. Theophylline, the commonly used methylxanthine drug is associated with a wide range of adverse effects accounting for the poor compliance and high drop-out rates.

Inhibition of Pyridoxal Kinase by Methylxanthines

Enzyme, 2017
In the presence of saturating concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and rate-limiting amounts of pyridoxal, theophylline was found to inhibit sheep brain pyridoxal kinase (EC 2.7.1.35) competitively. The apparent inhibition constant (K(i)) of theophylline for pyridoxal kinase was determined as 8.7 μmol/l.

Methylxanthines: Toxicity to humans. 3. Theobromine, paraxanthine and the combined effects of methylxanthines

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 1988
This review provides a brief overview of known information on the human toxicity of theobromine and paraxanthine. Theobromine has some pharmacological effects, although these activities are considerably weaker than those of theophylline and/or caffeine, described in parts 1 and 2 of this series (Stavric, Fd Chem. Toxic.
