1,7-Dimethylxanthine (also known as Paraxanthine) is a natural xanthine alkaloid and the primary metabolite of caffeine in humans. Unlike caffeine, it has a shorter half-life and distinct pharmacological profile, making it valuable for research applications.
1,7-Dimethylxanthine is the major metabolite of caffeine, accounting for approximately 80% of caffeine metabolism. It is also found naturally in certain plants.
