General description

1,7-Dimethyluric acid is an important metabolite of caffeine. Electrochemical oxidation of 1,7-dimethyluric acid was studied over a wide pH range of 2.2-10.3 at solid electrodes.

Application

1,7-Dimethyluric acid is the suitable reagent used for the simultaneous determination of plasma levels of theophylline and its metabolites without interference from caffeine or caffeine metabolites by HPLC.

Human acetylation phenotypes were determined with caffeine (137X) as the test substance, improved by measuring urinary caffeine metabolites with a previously described HPLC method. Caffeine, 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU), 1-methylxanthine (IX), 1-methyluric acid (IU), 1,7-dimethylxanthine (17X), and 1,7-dimethyluric acid (17U) were quantified.
