Show all pathways known for 1.14.13.128Display the word mapDisplay the reaction diagram Show all sequences 1.14.13.128medicine methylxanthine intermediates of caffeine catabolism obtained by the action of N-demethylases have many applications. In medicine, theobromine and theophylline are used as diuretics, vasodilators, and myocardial stimulants. Monomethylxanthines can be converted to effective caffeine derivatives by chemical derivatization and hence can serve as interesting alternatives to caffeine. Xanthine also finds pharmaceutical application in drugs for treatment of asthma. The biotechnological potential of N-demethylases therefore lies not only in general decaffeination purposes but also in specific product recovery from caffeine 717407
