Xanthines

Xanthines, also known as methylxanthines, are a therapeutic drug class consisting of purine-derived compounds that include agents such as theophylline, aminophylline, and caffeine Clinically, members of this class are utilized as bronchodilators to alleviate airway obstruction and bronchospasm in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, and as respiratory stimulants for the management of apnea of prematurity
