1,3,9-Trimethylxanthine (Isocaffeine) may be used to study the mechanism of inositol-trisphosphate (Ins-P3) induced calcium release. 1,3,9-Trimethylxanthine may be used as an internal standard for measuring metabolites of caffeine in urine and other fluids by HPLC or capillary electrophoresis. 1,3,9-Trimethylxanthine may be used in studies on the binding of caffeine analogues to adenosine receptors.
Biochem/physiol Actions
1,3,9-Trimethylxanthine is an adenosine receptor antagonist.

We have investigated the effect of various methylxanthines on the basal and InsP3-stimulated unidirectional 45Ca2+ efflux from permeabilized A7r5 cells under different experimental conditions. We report that caffeine and theophylline inhibit the InsP3-induced Ca2+ release, whereas the basal Ca2+ leak

Using the recently solved crystal structure of the human adenosine A(2A) receptor, we applied MM/PBSA to compare the binding modes of caffeine with those of the high-affinity selective antagonist ZM241385. MD simulations were performed in the environment of the lipid

Caffeine (CA) and its 14 main metabolites were determined in urine by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). After addition of 1,3,9-trimethylxanthine, uracil and beta-hydroxyethyltheophylline as internal standards, samples were separated by RP-HPLC into three fractions; A
