CAS 2309-49-1 TETRAMETHYLURIC ACID 1,3,7,8-tetramethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione

Description:

1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid is an oxopurine that is uric acid in which the hydrogens at positions 1,3,7 and 9 are replaced by methyl groups. It is a purine alkaloid that is found in Chinese tea known as kucha (Camellia assamica var. kucha) and exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an anti-inflammatory agent, an analgesic and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is an oxopurine and a purine alkaloid. It is functionally related to a 7,9-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6,8(3H)-trione.

Uses:

Tetramethyluric acid is an impurity. C is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a stimulant drug and a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. C is found in varying quantities in the seeds, leaves, and fruit of some plants, where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and kills certain insects feeding on the plants. In humans, c acts as a central nervous system stimulant, temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. C is a cardiac and respiratory stimulant; diuretic. C is toxic at sufficiently high doses.

What are the side effects of theacrine?

Theacrine might cause sleepiness and slowed breathing at low doses. At high doses, theacrine might decrease sleepiness. Some medications, called sedatives, can cause sleepiness and slowed breathing. Taking theacrine with sedative medications might increase or decrease the effects of those medications.

Is theacrine better than c?

A study in the journal Nutrients compared theacrine to c and found some significant differences. Theacrine has little or no impact on heart rate or blood pressure and isn't likely to interfere with sleep. (At higher doses, c increases heart rate and blood pressure and can cause insomnia.)

Does theacrine increase heart rate?

That said, because both theacrine and c are viewed as stimulants, it is possible that blood pressure and heart rate may be elevated in selected individuals following intake, while such individuals may also experience symptoms such as shakiness and irritability.

What are the benefits of theacrine?

Like c, theacrine stimulates the central nervous system at higher doses and decreases central nervous system activity at lower doses. But unlike c, theacrine does not seem to affect blood pressure. Theacrine might also lessen liver damage caused by stress and reduce pain and swelling.
