A 2B and A 3 receptors require concentrations of caffeine that do not occur at normal physiological levels or with normal levels of caffeine consumption in order to be antagonized, and will therefore not be considered as a possible mechanism for caffeine-induced anxiety. [8] Caffeine acts as an antagonist of adenosine A 1 and A 2A receptors.
The therapeutic dose of theophylline, however, is many times greater than the levels attained from caffeine metabolism. [46] 1,3,7-Trimethyluric acid is a minor caffeine metabolite.
