Application
1-Methyluric acid has been used:
- for the determination of uric acid in stool samples by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry
- in turbidimetric assay of synthetic urine samples
- as a substrate for CYP1A2(cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A member 2) assay
Biochem/physiol Actions
1-Methyluric acid (1-U) is a major metabolite of caffeine and theophylline with antioxidant activity that protects molecules such as low density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidative modifications. 1-Methyluric acid may be used in studies aimed at differentiating the activities of caffeine and theophylline metabolites.

Although caffeine has been suggested as an antioxidant at millimolar concentrations, little information is available about the antioxidant activity of caffeine and its metabolites at physiological concentrations. Antioxidant activity was measured by oxygen-radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) using 2, 2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride
