Caffeine

Applications: Caffeine (Pentoxifylline EP Impurity F) is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid with stimulant properties. It functions as a central nervous system stimulant, helping to reduce drowsiness and increase alertness. It also acts as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and has both cardiac and respiratory stimulant effects.

Naturally found in the seeds, leaves, and fruits of various plants, caffeine serves as a natural pesticide by paralyzing or killing certain insects that feed on the plant. In pharmaceutical and research settings, caffeine is used as a standard or reference material, particularly in studies involving metabolic pathways, stimulant drugs, and neuroactivity.
