8-Phenyltheophylline (8-phenyl-1,3-dimethylxanthine,8-PT) is adrug derived from thexanthine family which acts as apotent andselectiveantagonist for theadenosine receptorsA1 andA2A, but unlike other xanthine derivatives has virtually no activity as aphosphodiesterase inhibitor.[1][2][3] It hasstimulant effects in animals with similar potency tocaffeine.[4] Coincidentally 8-phenyltheophylline has also been found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of the liver enzymeCYP1A2 which makes it likely to cause interactions with other drugs which are normally metabolised by CYP1A2.[5]
