Abstract
The enzymes responsible for the metabolism of methylated xanthines suah as theophylline, theobromine, and caffeine have until now escaped identification (1, 2). However, a sensitive radiometric method of analysis of theophylline metabolism (3) was made possible by the synthesis and purification of 8‐^14^C‐theophylline (^14^C‐Theo). ^14^C‐Theo was synthesized by the incorporation of ^14^C from ^14^C‐formic acid into the 8‐position of the purine ring. Purification of the ^14^C‐Theo was accomplished by subjecting the crude produot to cation‐exchange column chromatography with AG50W‐X12, 50–100 mesh resin of the hydrogen ion form.
