introduction | bitter theophylline (Theacrine, 1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid) is a purine alkaloid found in the leaves of wild bitter tea (Camellia kuchaHung T. Chang). its molecular structure is one more methyl than caffeine, which is common in tea. It is precisely because there is one more methyl group than caffeine that bitter theophylline has completely different physiological functions and health care effects from caffeine, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars in the academic and medical fields. |
Effect | Bitter theophylline is a methylpurine drug. It has the effects of strengthening the heart, diuresis, dilating coronary arteries, relaxing bronchial smooth muscle and exciting the central nervous system.
