Application
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

The present study, aimed to clarify whether the gastrointestinal adverse effects following administration of the bronchodilator theophylline are owing to the action of the drug itself or its metabolites, investigates the pharmacodymanic effects of theophylline's metabolites on the spontaneous contractility
