PRODUCT INFORMATION Proxyphylline Item No. 20937 CAS Registry No.: 603-00-9 Formal Name: 3,7-dihydro-7-(2-hydroxypropyl)-1,3- N dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione O N Synonym: NSC 163343 C H N O MF: 10 14 4 3 N FW: 238.2 N Purity: ≥98% O UV/Vis.: λmax: 273, 324 nm Supplied as: A crystalline solid OH Storage: -20°C Stability: As supplied, 2 years from the QC date provided on the Certificate of Analysis, when stored properly Laboratory Procedures Proxyphylline is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the proxyphylline in the solvent of choice. Proxyphylline is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide (DMF), which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of proxyphylline in ethanol is approximately 1 mg/ml and approximately 10 mg/ml in DMSO and DMF. Further dilutions of the stock solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline should be made prior to performing biological experiments. Ensure that the residual amount of organic solvent is insignificant, since organic solvents may have physiological effects at low concentrations. Organic solvent-free aqueous solutions of proxyphylline can be prepared by directly dissolving the crystalline solid in aqueous buffers. The solubility of proxyphylline in PBS, pH 7.2, is approximately 1 mg/ml. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. Description Proxyphylline is a methylxanthine derivative that has bronchodilatory actions.1 It has also been reported 2 to have vasodilatory and cardiac stimulatory effects. -

Chocolate, Theobromine, Dogs, and Other Great Stuff
Nancy Lowry, Professor of Chemistry, Hampshire College, Amherst, MA [email protected] Chocolate, Theobromine, Dogs, and Other Great Stuff. Chocolate is now considered a health food, according to many news reports. It provides a goodly dose of antioxidants, prolongs the lives of Dutch men, contains compounds that chemically echo tetrahydocannabinoid and encourage feelings of love, and it even “may halve the risk of dying,” according to a recent headline in the New Scientist. On the other hand, if chocolate is included in the diet in therapeutic doses, it will also most assuredly lead to obesity. Furthermore, the amounts of anandamide (the THC mimic) and phenylethylamine (the so-called “love” compound) are present in chocolate in very, very low amounts. And finally, we all have a 100% chance of dying at some time, so a headline that talks about cutting our chance of dying in half makes no sense. Nevertheless, chocolate is great stuff. It comes in many varieties. One end of the spectrum is bitter baking chocolate; adding sugar provides chocolate of various degrees of sweetness. Adding milk finally brings us to milk chocolate, which many people consider barely makes it over the line into chocolate. White chocolate is only cocoa butter fat, and really isn’t chocolate at all. Over 600 different molecules contribute to the taste of chocolate. Many people talk about the caffeine in chocolate, but there is relatively very little caffeine in chocolate; the compound that particularly characterizes chocolate is theobromine, a very close relative of caffeine. There is six to ten times more theobromine in chocolate than caffeine. -

AO can seriously impair the psychosocial well-being of the affected individuals; however, no causal therapy has been established for it other than surgical treatment. Recent studies have revealed that human ATP-binding cassette transporter C11 (ABCC11) is an AO risk factor when it is expressed in the axillary apocrine glands—the sources of the offensive odors. Hence, identifying safe ways to inhibit ABCC11 may offer a breakthrough in treating AO. We herein screened for ABCC11-inhibitory activities in 34 natural products derived from plants cultivated for human consumption using an in vitro assay system to measure the ABCC11-mediated transport of radiolabeled dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S—an ABCC11 substrate). -

Epigallocatechin Gallate: a Review
Veterinarni Medicina, 63, 2018 (10): 443–467 Review Article https://doi.org/10.17221/31/2018-VETMED Epigallocatechin gallate: a review L. Bartosikova*, J. Necas Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Epigallocatechin gallate is the major component of the polyphenolic fraction of green tea and is responsible for most of the therapeutic benefits of green tea consumption. A number of preclinical in vivo and in vitro experiments as well as clinical trials have shown a wide range of biological and pharmacological properties of polyphenolic compounds such as anti-oxidative, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, chemoprotective, neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects. Epigallocatechin gallate controls high blood pressure, decreases blood cholesterol and body fat and decreases the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Further research should be performed to monitor the pharmacological and clinical effects of green tea and to more clearly elucidate its mechanisms of action and the potential for its use in medicine.

3-Methylxanthine Production Through Biodegradation of Theobromine By
Zhou et al. BMC Microbiology (2020) 20:269 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-020-01951-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access 3-Methylxanthine production through biodegradation of theobromine by Aspergillus sydowii PT-2 Binxing Zhou1*† , Cunqiang Ma1,2,3*†, Chengqin Zheng1, Tao Xia4, Bingsong Ma1 and Xiaohui Liu1 Abstract Background: Methylxanthines, including caffeine, theobromine and theophylline, are natural and synthetic compounds in tea, which could be metabolized by certain kinds of bacteria and fungi. Previous studies confirmed that several microbial isolates from Pu-erh tea could degrade and convert caffeine and theophylline. We speculated that these candidate isolates also could degrade and convert theobromine through N-demethylation and oxidation. In this study, seven tea-derived fungal strains were inoculated into various theobromine agar medias and theobromine liquid mediums to assess their capacity in theobromine utilization. Related metabolites with theobromine degradation were detected by using HPLC in the liquid culture to investigate their potential application in the production of 3-methylxanthine. Results: Based on theobromine utilization capacity, Aspergillus niger PT-1, Aspergillus sydowii PT-2, Aspergillus ustus PT-6 and Aspergillus tamarii PT-7 have demonstrated the potential for theobromine biodegradation. Particularly, A. sydowii PT-2 and A. tamarii PT-7 could degrade theobromine significantly (p < 0.05) in all given liquid mediums. 3,7- Dimethyluric acid, 3-methylxanthine, 7-methylxanthine, 3-methyluric acid, xanthine, and uric acid were detected in A. sydowii PT-2 and A. tamarii PT-7 culture, respectively, which confirmed the existence of N-demethylation and oxidation in theobromine catabolism. 3-Methylxanthine was common and main demethylated metabolite of theobromine in the liquid culture. -
Influence of COMT Genotype Polymorphism on Plasma and Urine
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy Influence of COMT Genotype Polymorphism on Plasma and Urine Green Tea Catechin Levels in Postmenopausal Women A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Alyssa Heather Perry IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Mindy Kurzer September 2014 © Alyssa Heather Perry 2014 Abstract Catechins are the major polyphenolic compound in green tea that have been investigated extensively over the past few decades in relation to the treatment of various chronic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. O-methylation is a major Phase II metabolic pathway of green tea catechins (GTCs) via the enzyme catechol-O- methyltransferase (COMT). A single nucleotide polymorphism in the gene coding for COMT leads to individuals with a high-, intermediate-, or low-activity COMT enzyme. An epidemiological case-control study suggests that green tea consumption is associated with reduced risk of breast cancer in women with an intermediate- or low-activity COMT genotype. A cross-sectional analysis discovered that men homozygous for the low- activity COMT genotype showed a reduction in total tea polyphenols in spot urine samples compared to the intermediate- and high-activity genotypes. Several human intervention trials have assessed green tea intake, metabolism, and COMT genotype with conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to determine if the COMT polymorphism would modify the excretion and plasma levels of GTCs in 180 postmenopausal women at high risk for breast cancer consuming a green tea extract supplement containing 1222 mg total catechins daily for 12 months. -
