| Bioactivity | Xanthine amine congener dihydrochloride (XAC dihydrochloride) is a potent Adenosine A1 receptor and A2 receptor antagonist with IC50 values of 1.8 and 114 nM, respectively. Xanthine amine congener acts as a convulsant agent in mice model[1]. |
| Target | IC50: 1.8 nM (Adenosine A1 receptor)IC50: 114 nM (Adenosine A2 receptor) |
| In Vivo | Xanthine amine congener dihydrochloride is more potent as a convulsant than either caffeine or theophyllin in infusion studies at the dosage 39.8 mg/kg. XAC has no effects by administering the drug via an i.p. injection, the seizure threshold >1000 mg/kg[1]. Animal Model: |
