Paraxanthine Uses

 Paraxanthine (CAS NO.611-59-6) is used as an adenosine receptor ligand and a major metabolite of caffeine.

Paraxanthine Production

 Paraxanthine (CAS NO.611-59-6) is made from caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) breakdown. After intake, roughly 84% is demethylated at the 3-position to yield paraxanthine.
