Description:
Xanthine, (3,7-dihydro-purine-2,6-dione), is a purine base found in most human body tissues and fluids and in other organisms. A number of mild stimulants are derived from xanthine, including caffeine and theobromine.
Xanthine is a product on the pathway of purine degradation.
It is created from guanine by guanine deaminase.
It is created from hypoxanthine by xanthine oxidoreductase.
Xanthine is subsequently converted to uric acid by the action of the xanthine oxidase enzyme.
