Theobromine (C7H8N4O2, or 3,7-dimethylxanthine, or 3,7-Dihydro-3,7-dimethyle-1H-prine-2,6-dione) is an alkaloid of the methylxanthine family, which also includes the similar compounds theophylline? and caffeine. It is known to induce mutations in bacteria and lower eukatyote?s, but does not seem to cause mutations is higher eukaryotes. |
