General description

Xanthine is a purine derivative. It has been reported to be formed during the metabolism of purine. Its presence in biological fluids is a marker of pathologic states, such as xanthinuria. Flavonoid nanostructured electrochemical sensor has been fabricated and employed for the voltammetric estimation of noradrenaline, acetaminophen, xanthine and caffeine, simultaneously.

Application

Xanthine may be employed in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assay for the generation of superoxide radicals.
