Caffeine and theophylline are methyl-xantine drugs, which are affected by water leading to their hydrated forms. The purpose of this work was to prepare and characterize hydrated forms of caffeine and theophylline by mechanochemistry. The obtained products were characterized by infrared spectroscopy and Xray powder diffraction. The infrared spectra and diffractograms of the ground products were similar to the reported for caffeine and theophylline hydrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
