Spectral Analysis of Naturally Occurring Methylxanthines (Theophylline, Theobromine and Caffeine) Binding with DNA
Nucleic acids exist in a dynamic equilibrium with a number of molecules that constantly interact with them and regulate the cellular activities. The inherent nature of the structure and conformational integrity of these macromolecules can lead to altered biological activity through proper targeting of nucleic acids binding ligands or drug molecules. We studied the interaction of naturally occur...
متن کاملCaffeine and related methylxanthines: possible naturally occurring pesticides.
Natural and synthetic methylxanthines inhibit insect feeding and are pesticidal at concentrations known to occur in plants. These effects are due primarily to inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity and to an increase in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate. At lower concentrations, methylxanthines are potent synergists of other pesticides known to activate adenylate cyclase in insects...
متن کاملSimultaneous HPLC determination of caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline in food, drinks, and herbal products.
A rapid and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is developed for the separation and determination of caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline. The chromatography is performed on a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8 column (4.6x150 mm i.d., 5-microm particle size) at 25 degrees C, with a mobile phase of water-THF (0.1% THF in water, pH 8)-acetonitrile (90:10, v/v). The flow rate is...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of caffeine, theobromine and theophylline in foods and pharmaceutical preparations by using ion chromatography
Two ion chromatographic methods have been proposed for the simultaneous determination of caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. The separations were based on isocratic elutions and the determinations on ultraviolet absorbance detections at 274 nm. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio 3:1) for the three compounds were all below sub-mg mlÿ1 level. The methods have been successfully applie...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline by high-performance liquid chromatography.
This work relates the development of an analytical methodology to simultaneously determine three methylxanthines (caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline) in beverages and urine samples based on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Separation is made with a Bondesil C18 column using methanol-water-acetic acid or ethanol-water-acetic acid (20:75:5, v/v/v) as the mobile phase at...
