Caffeine is a drug of the methylxanthine class used for a variety of purposes, including certain respiratory conditions of the premature newborn, pain relief, and combat drowsiness. Caffeine is similar in chemical structure to Theophylline and Theobromine.
Respiratory System:
Enhances respiratory drive by stimulating the brain’s response to CO₂ and increasing diaphragm contractility—used in treating apnea of prematurity.
Central Nervous System:
Blocks all four adenosine receptor subtypes (A1, A2a, A2b, A3); alertness effects are mainly due to A2a receptor antagonism.
Renal System:
Acts as a diuretic by increasing renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and sodium excretion.
Cardiovascular System:
Increases heart activity via adenosine receptor blockade and catecholamine release. Causes both vasodilation (via nitric oxide) and vasoconstriction (via catecholamines), raising systolic blood pressure and relieving migraine by constricting dilated brain vessels.
