Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Effects
Absorption and distribution
? Rapid (tmax 30 - 120 min) and complete absorption ? Crosses freely blood-brain, placental and testicular barrier ? Volume of distribution (~ 0.67 L/kg bw) ? No specific tissue accumulation

PHARMACOKINETIC
Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Effects
Metabolism/Excretion - General
? Main route of metabolism in humans (70-80 %): N-3 demethylation to paraxanthine (1,7-dimethylxanthine, 17X) catalysed by cytochrome (CYP) 1A2 in the liver.
? Other primary metabolites are theophylline and theobromine.
? Smaller proportion is metabolised by CYP3A4, xanthine oxidase and N-acetyltransferase 2.
? Plasma half-life in adults about 2 - 8 hrs
? Linear kinetic up to at least 7.1 mg/kg in adult
? Paraxanthine, theophylline and theobromine are further metabolized and then excreted in the urine.

minor
? Age
? Genetic factors: o Men with higher CYP1A2 enzyme activity than women o genetic polymorphism of CYP1A2
? Life-style factors o caffeine intake (>2 cups of coffee/d) > CYP1A2 activity o smoking > CYP1A2 activity o Contraceptives > CYP1A2 activity
