Methylxanthines are chemical compounds which are derivatives of xanthine with one or more methyl groups, including: One methyl group: 1-Methylxanthine; 3-Methylxanthine; 7-Methylxanthine; Two methyl groups: Theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine) Paraxanthine (1,7-dimethylxanthine) Theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine) Three methyl groups:
7-Methylxanthine (7-MX), also known as heteroxanthine, is an active metabolite of caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) and theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine). [1] [2] It is a non-selective antagonist of the adenosine receptors. [1] [2] The compound may slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness). [1] [2] It is under investigation for this ...
A 3-metre (9.8 ft) oak sculpture of a "guardian deity" wearing a cowl was found in the old harbour basin of Geneva, Switzerland. [34] [35] And primitively carved wooden stelae have been found at sites of worship of goddesses of water-sources, such as the so-called Pforzheim Sirona.
1,3,5,7-Tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetrasilaadamantane is the organosilicon compound with the formula (CH 2) 6 (SiCH 3) 4. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The compound is one of the iconic carbosilanes, featuring alternating −Si−C−Si−C− linkages. [2] Otherwise it can be described as a diamondoid cluster.
The term idol is an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship, [1] [2] [3] while idolatry is the worship of an "idol" as though it were God. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Ancient Near East and Egypt
A shrine to Dushara has been discovered in the harbour of ancient Puteoli in Italy. The city was an important nexus for trade to the Near East and it is known to have had a Nabataean presence during the mid first century BCE. [6] The cult continued in some capacity well into the Roman period and possibly as late as the Islamic period. [7]
1,3,7-Trimethyluric acid is a minor caffeine metabolite. [5] 7-Methylxanthine is also a metabolite of caffeine. [193] [194] Each of the above metabolites is further metabolized and then excreted in the urine. Caffeine can accumulate in individuals with severe liver disease, increasing its half-life. [195]
Hosea 3:4 says that "the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or teraphim." As in the Micah story, the teraphim is closely associated with the ephod, and both are mentioned elsewhere in connection with divination; [1] it is thus a possibility that cleromancy involved teraphim.
