An efficient synthesis of selectively N-substituted xanthine derivatives is described. Cyclocondensation of a suitably protected aminoimidazole with methyl-2-phenylthioethyl carbamate, followed by oxidation of sulfur to the sulfone, provides access to an orthogonally 1,7-protected xanthine, which may then be regioselectively alkylated and deprotected under mild conditions.

7-[(2,2-Dimethyl)propyl]-1-methyl xanthine (CAS 155006-67-0, MX2/120) is a new potent antibronchospastic agent with negligible side effects. The synthesis involves the alkylation of 3-benzyl-1-methyl xanthine with neopentyl bromide followed by removal of
Structure-activity relationships in a series of xanthine derivatives with antibronchoconstrictory and bronchodilatory activities

, p. 653 - 658 (2007/10/02)
Thirty-one 1,3,7,8-substituted xanthine derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for bronchodilator and anti-bronchoconstrictory activities in in vitro tracheal relaxation and in vivo bronchospasm inhibition models. Activity tests have been complemented with phosphodiesterase inhibition and toxicological data. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. Compound 21 (1,3-diisobutyl-8-methylxanthine) has been selected for further pharmacological development because of its good activity profile and favourable therapeutic index, which is 14- and 38-fold greater than that of theophylline and IBMX, respectively.
