1-Methylxanthine-d3
1-Methylxanthine-d3 is deuterated labeled 1-Methylxanthine (HY-W008449). 1-Methylxanthine, a caffeine derivative, is an essential human urinary metabolite of caffeine and theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine, TP). 1-Methylxanthine enhances the radiosensitivity of tumor cells.

Biological Activity
Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
1-Methylxanthine (1-MTX; 3 mM; for 30 min) increases the radiation-induced clonogenic and apoptotic cell (RKO human colorectal cancer cells carrying wild type protein 53 kDa (p53)) death[3].
1-Methylxanthine (1MX) exhibits similar activities to other naturally occurring methylxanthines. Unlike caffeine, TP, and theobromine, 3-Methylxanthine (3MX) and 1-methylxanthine do not occur naturally at high levels in plants[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
1. This compound can be used as a tracer
2. This compound can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
