Paraxanthine

Create a 3D molecule structure model of Paraxanthine out of Authentic Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo Instruments

Paraxanthine's bicyclic chemical structure is a dimethylxanthine which is a purine derivative (containing 5 & 6 member fused rings) with 2 ketone groups & 2 methyl groups. It belongs to a general groups of psychoactive compounds called methylxanthines that includes caffeine, paraxanthine, theobromine, and theophylline. The body produces it as a caffeine metabolite where it acts as a central nervous system stimulant. Other metabolic by-products include uric acid and uracil derivatives.
