Xanthines and Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors.

Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology, 2017
Theophylline is an orally acting xanthine that has been used since 1937 for the treatment of respiratory diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, in most treatment guidelines, xanthines have now been consigned to third-line therapy because of their narrow therapeutic window and propensity for drug-drug ...

Aromaticity of caffeine, xanthine and the dimethyl xanthines

Tetrahedron Letters, 2014
Xanthine, caffeine and three isomeric dimethyl xanthines (theobromine, theophylline and paraxanthine) are often described as aromatic on various criteria. Here we complete the picture by assessing these molecules for aromaticity on the ring-current criterion.

Conformational Analysis and Absolute Configuration of Axially Chiral 1-Aryl and 1,3-Bisaryl-xanthines.

Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017
The xanthine scaffold is known to be the forefather of a class of biological active molecules. Xanthine is a planar framework in which an aryl substituent linked in the 1 or 3 position is driven out of the xanthine plane because of the steric hindrance ...

The reactions of chloroperoxidase in the presence of xanthine/xanthine oxidase

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1989
Spectral data are presented which indicate that chloroperoxidase is converted to compound II during the reaction with superoxide/hydrogen peroxide generated in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. Upon completion of compound II formation, compound II returns back to the native state of chloroperoxidase without formation of detectable intermediates. It

Palladium compounds of xanthine and xanthine derivatives

Inorganica Chimica Acta, 1983
The biological importance of purine bases is well known. The interaction of metal ions with nucleic acids, nucleotides and nucleotides has been an active area of inorganic and structural chemistry during the last few years, and a number of recent reviews exist on the subject [1, 2].

Position-Specific Isotope Analysis of Xanthines: A (13)C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Method to Determine the (13)C Intramolecular Composition at Natural Abundance.

Analytical Chemistry, 2015
The natural xanthines caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline are of major commercial importance as flavor constituents in coffee, cocoa, tea, and a number of other beverages.

Relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter and stimulation of gastric secretion and diuresis by antiasthmatic xanthines. Role of adenosine antagonism.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
The study was designed to obtain information on selected extrapulmonary effects of enprofylline, an adenosine-non-blocking alkylxanthine that is about 5 times more potent as a bronchodilator than the adenosine receptor antagonist theophylline. Effects of

Mammalian xanthine oxidoreductase – mechanism of transition from xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase

The FEBS Journal, 2008
Reactive oxygen species are generated by various biological systems, including NADPH oxidases, xanthine oxidoreductase, and mitochondrial respiratory enzymes, and contribute to many physiological and pathological phenomena. Mammalian xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) can be converted to xanthine oxidase (XO), which produces both superoxide anion and ...
