Notes:
The interaction of caffeine and theophylline with purine and pyrimidine was studied in deuterium oxide at 35°C by measuring the concentration-dependent selective changes in the chemical shifts of the N-methyl protons of the xanthine derivatives. Using a competitive dimer model, the equilibrium constants give a decreasing tendency for hetero-association within the series caffeine-purine (2.97 ± 0.15 1 mol-1) 〉 theophylline-purine (2.44 ± 0.10 1 mol-1) 〉 caffeine-pyrimidine (1.18 ± 0.20 1 mol-1) 〉 theophylline-pyrimidine (0.70 ± 0.08 1 mol-1), and the upfield dimer shifts suggest a plane-to-plane arrangement.
