[1] Mixed apnea involves elements of both obstructive and central apnea. Many episodes of apnea of prematurity may start as either obstructive or central, but then involve ...
Theophylline, also known as 1,3-dimethylxanthine, is a drug that inhibits phosphodiesterase and blocks adenosine receptors. [1] It is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. [2] Its pharmacology is similar to other methylxanthine drugs (e.g., theobromine and caffeine). [1]
Methylxanthine is a term applied to any methyl derivative of xanthine, including: With one methyl substituent 1-Methylxanthine; 3-Methylxanthine; 7-Methylxanthine; With two methyl substituents Theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) Paraxanthine (1,7-dimethylxanthine) Theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine) With three methyl substituents Caffeine (1,3,7 ...

Methylxanthines are chemical compounds which are derivatives of xanthine with one or more methyl groups, including: One methyl group: 1-Methylxanthine;
An adenosine receptor antagonist is a drug which acts as an antagonist of one or more of the adenosine receptors. [1] The best known are xanthines and their derivatives (natural: caffeine, [2] theophylline, [3] and theobromine; and synthetic: PSB-1901 [4]), but there are also non-xanthine representatives (e.g. ISAM-140, [5] ISAM-R316, [6] etrumadenant, [7] and AZD-4635 [8])
