http://www.sciencedirect.com/ The methylxanthine caffeine has many pharmacological effects, most of which can
be linked to blockade of adenosine receptors, inhibition of phosphodiesterases,
and augmentation of calcium-dependent release of calcium from intracellular
stores. A variety of xanthines have been developed as potent and/or
selective antagonists for adenosine receptors. Several xanthines have been
developed that are more potent and more selective inhibitors of cyclic
nucleotide phosphodiesterase than caffeine or theophylline. Caffeine remains
the xanthine of choice for activation of intracellular calcium-sensitive calcium
release channels although millimolar concentrations are required, which can have
effects on other aspects of calcium regulation.
