1,3-Dimethyluric Acid is a metabolite of Caffeine (sc-202514). It has been identified as a peroxynitrite scavenger blocking either peroxynitrite anion-mediated thiol oxidations or phenol/tyrosine nitrations by free radical mechanisms. In experiments involving oxidative protein modifications ofperoxynitrite, 1,3-Dimethyluric Acid was determined to be one of the best inhibitors of phenol nitration. It was also one of the most efficient compounds in inhibiting the nitration of tyrosine residues in BSA.
