Chemical Information
FooDB NameTheophylline
DescriptionTheophylline, also known as uniphyl or aerolate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthines. These are purine derivatives with a ketone group conjugated at carbons 2 and 6 of the purine moiety. Theophylline is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Theophylline is a bitter tasting compound. Theophylline is found, on average, in the highest concentration within cocoa beans and tea. Theophylline has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as arabica coffee, guarana, lemons, pummelo, and robusta coffee. This could make theophylline a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Theophylline is a potentially toxic compound.
