Puri BK, Heard CR, Monro JA. Salivary clearance of caffeine in children. J Oral Biol Craniofac Res 2023; 13:364-366. [PMID: 36949821 PMCID: PMC10025958 DOI: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2023.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Measurement of salivary caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylpurine-2,6-dione or 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) clearance can, in principle, be used to assess hepatic function, diagnose chronic hepatic disease and conduct investigations of substrates of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes in children, without recourse to venepuncture. However, little is known about childhood sexual dimorphism of hepatic CYP isoforms. Furthermore, the association, if any, between salivary caffeine clearance and age in children has not hitherto been established. The aims of this study were to assess whether salivary caffeine clearance differs between boys and girls and whether it varies with age during childhood. Methods Following at least 24 h' abstinence from dietary caffeine, nine boys (mean (standard error) age 9.6 (1.1) y) and eight girls (mean age 11.0 (1.2) y), none of whom was a smoker or suffered from chronic hepatic disease, ingested an oral caffeine dose titrated by body mass, namely 3 mg kg-1. Salivary samples collected two and 14 h later underwent spectrophotometric caffeine analysis. Results The boys and the girls were age matched. The mean caffeine clearance in the boys was 2.47 (0.33) mL min-1 kg-1, while that in the girls was 2.20 (0.31) mL min-1 kg-1 (p = 0.56). The salivary caffeine clearance was negatively correlated with age (r = -0.59, p = 0.01). Conclusion Stratification by sex appears to be unnecessary when considering childhood salivary caffeine clearance or when conducting investigations in children of CYP1A2 and xanthine oxidase substrates. Furthermore, childhood salivary caffeine clearance is negatively correlated with age.

Toward precision medicine in pediatric population using cytochrome P450 phenotyping approaches and physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling. Pediatr Res 2020; 87:441-449.

Abstract
The activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DME) shows high inter- and intra-individual variability. Genetic polymorphisms, exposure to drugs, and environmental toxins are known to significantly alter DME expression. In addition, the activity of these enzymes is highly age-dependent due to maturation processes that occur during development. Currently, there is a vast choice of phenotyping methods in adults using exogenous probes to characterize the activity of these enzymes. However, this can hardly be applied to children since it requires the intake of non-therapeutic xenobiotics. In addition, sampling may be challenging in the pediatric population for a variety of reasons: limited volume (e.g., blood), inappropriate sampling methods for age (e.g., urine), and metric requiring invasive or multiple blood samples. This review covers the main existing methods that can be used in the pediatric population to determine DME activity, with a particular focus on cytochrome P450 enzymes. Less invasive tools are described, including phenotyping using endogenous probes. Finally, the potential of pediatric model-informed precision dosing using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling is discussed.

Abstract
Methylated xanthines (methylxanthines) are available from a significant number of different botanical species. They are ordinarily included in daily diet, in many extremely common beverages and foods. Caffeine, theophylline and theobromine are the main methylxanthines available from natural sources. The supposedly relatively low toxicity of methylxanthines, combined with the many beneficial effects that have been attributed to these compounds through time, generated a justified attention and a very prolific ground for dedicated scientific reports. Methylxanthines have been widely used as therapeutical tools, in an intriguing range of medicinal scopes. In fact, methylxanthines have been/were medically used as Central Nervous System stimulants, bronchodilators, coronary dilators, diuretics and anti-cancer adjuvant treatments. Other than these applications, methylxanthines have also been hinted to hold other beneficial health effects, namely regarding neurodegenerative diseases, cardioprotection, diabetes and fertility. However, it seems now consensual that toxicity concerns related to methylxanthine consumption and/or therapeutic use should not be dismissed. Taking all the knowledge and expectations on the potential of methylxanthines into account, we propose a systematic look at the past and future of methylxanthine pharmacologic applications, discussing all the promise and anticipating possible constraints. Anyways, methylxanthines will still substantiate considerable meaningful research and discussion for years to come.

Abstract
Methylxanthines are a group of phytochemicals derived from the purine base xanthine and obtained from plant secondary metabolism. They are unobtrusively included in daily diet in common products as coffee, tea, energetic drinks, or chocolate. Caffeine is by far the most studied methylxanthine either in animal or epidemiologic studies. Theophylline and theobromine are other relevant methylxanthines also commonly available in the aforementioned sources. There are many disseminated myths about methylxanthines but there is increased scientific knowledge to discuss all the controversy and promise shown by these intriguing phytochemicals. In fact, many beneficial physiologic outcomes have been suggested for methylxanthines in areas as important and diverse as neurodegenerative and respiratory diseases, diabetes or cancer. However, there have always been toxicity concerns with methylxanthine (over)consumption and pharmacologic applications. Herein, we explore the structure-bioactivity relationships to bring light those enumerated effects. The potential shown by methylxanthines in such a wide range of conditions should substantiate many other scientific endeavors that may highlight their adequacy as adjuvant therapy agents and may contribute to the advent of functional foods. Newly designed targeted molecules based on methylxanthine structure may originate more specific and effective outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the utility of metrics of CYP1A2 activity using caffeine as a probe, and saliva and plasma sampling with or without a 24-h caffeine abstinence. METHODS This was a cross-over pharmacokinetic study in 30 healthy male subjects who received a single oral 100mg caffeine dose after 24-h caffeine abstinence or after maintaining their regular caffeine intake (no caffeine abstinence). Serial blood and saliva samples were collected simultaneously over 24h. Caffeine and paraxanthine concentrations were measured using a validated HPLC assay. KEY FINDINGS There was a strong correlation between the paraxanthine/caffeine AUC(0-24) ratio (reference metric) and the paraxanthine/caffeine concentration (C(t) ) ratio at 4h (C(4) ) in both saliva and plasma (r≥0.75). The paraxanthine/caffeine AUC(0-24) ratio in plasma and saliva did not differ between the 24-h caffeine abstinence and the no abstinence period (P>0.05). The optimal paraxanthine/caffeine C(t) that correlated with the plasma paraxanthine/caffeine AUC(0-24) ratio in the 24-h abstinence period was 2 and 4h (r=0.88) in plasma, and 4 and 6h in saliva (r=0.70), while it was the saliva 4h time-point in the no abstinence period (r=0.78). CONCLUSIONS The saliva paraxanthine/caffeine concentration ratio at 4h was a suitable metric to assess CYP1A2 activity after oral administration of caffeine without the need for 24-h caffeine abstinence.

Abstract
Caffeine has been extensively used as a probe to measure CYP1A2 activity in humans with caffeine clearance or the paraxanthine (major metabolite of caffeine) to caffeine concentration ratio being regarded as the preferred metric. A simple reverse-phased C(18) HPLC assay using ethyl acetate liquid-liquid extraction was developed to quantitate caffeine and paraxanthine concentrations in saliva and plasma. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-acetic acid-H(2)O (100:1:899) and analytes were quantitated with UV detection at 280 nm. The extraction recovery for paraxanthine and caffeine was approximately 70% in both saliva and plasma. The assay was linear over the concentration ranges 0.05-2.50 and 0.05-5.00 µg/mL, for paraxanthine and caffeine, respectively, in saliva. In plasma the assay was linear over the ranges 0.025-2.50 and 0.025-5.00 µg/mL for paraxanthine and caffeine, respectively. Intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy were less than 15%. Detection limits were 0.015 µg/mL for paraxanthine and caffeine in saliva, while it was 0.005 µg/mL for paraxanthine and caffeine in plasma. Utility was established in samples collected from two healthy volunteers who abstained from caffeine for 24 h and received a single 100 mg oral dose of caffeine. The assay developed is a robust, simple and precise technique to measure caffeine and paraxanthine in saliva and plasma of healthy volunteers after a single oral dose of caffeine.

Abstract
The interest on targeting adenosine A(2A) receptors in the realm of psychiatric diseases first arose based on their tight physical and functional interaction with dopamine D(2) receptors. However, the role of central A(2A) receptors is now viewed as much broader than just controlling D(2) receptor function. Thus, there is currently a major interest in the ability of A(2A) receptors to control synaptic plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. This is due to a combined ability of A(2A) receptors to facilitate the release of glutamate and the activation of NMDA receptors. Therefore, A(2A) receptors are now conceived as a normalizing device promoting adequate adaptive responses in neuronal circuits, a role similar to that fulfilled, in essence, by dopamine. This makes A(2A) receptors particularly attractive targets to manage psychiatric disorders since adenosine may act as go-between glutamate and dopamine, two of the key players in mood processing. Furthermore, A(2A) receptors also control glia function and brain metabolic adaptation, two other emerging mechanisms to understand abnormal processing of mood, and A(2A) receptors are important players in controlling the demise of neurodegeneration, considered an amplificatory loop in psychiatric disorders. Current data only provide an indirect confirmation of this putative role of A(2A) receptors, based on the effects of caffeine (an antagonist of both A(1) and A(2A) receptors) in psychiatric disorders. However, the introduction of A(2A) receptors antagonists in clinics as anti-parkinsonian agents is hoped to bolster our knowledge on the role of A(2A) receptors in mood disorders in the near future.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) has been shown to play an important role in salivary defense system, but its generation process and level from human saliva remain uncertain due to the lack of a reliable detection method. We have previously reported 4,4'(5')-bis[2-(9-anthryloxy)ethylthio]tetrathiafulvalene (BAET) as a novel chemiluminescence probe for 1O2. In this work, the probe is successfully used to characterize H2O2-dependent generation of 1O2 from saliva in real time. However, the yield of 1O2 is found to be very low, for example, being about 0.13 nmol from 200 microL saliva in the presence of 1 mM of hydrogen peroxide over a 5-s reaction period. The result is also compared with that obtained with another 1O2 probe 2-methyl-6-phenyl-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one (CLA), demonstrating that, besides 1O2, the other reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radical may also be involved in the reaction of saliva with H2O2. Furthermore, the present study shows that the selectivity of BAET for 1O2 is much higher than that of CLA and thus BAET is highly suited for the detection of 1O2 in the presence of other reactive oxygen species in biological systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To set up a novel simple, sensitive, and reliable ion-pairing HPLC method for the synchronous separation of several purines, pyrimidines, N-acetylated amino acids, and dicarboxylic acids for the chemical diagnosis and screening of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). DESIGN AND METHODS The separation was set up using a Hypersil C-18, 5-microm particle size, 250 x 4.6 mm column, and a step gradient using two buffers and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as the pairing reagent. A highly sensitive diode array UV detector was set up at a wavelength between 200 and 300 nm that revealed purines and pyrimidines at 260 nm and other compounds at 206 nm. RESULTS Compounds were determined in the plasma of 15 healthy adults, in the urine of 50 healthy subjects (1-3 years, 4-6 years, 8-10 years, 12-18 years, 25-35 years), and in 10 non-pathological amniotic fluid samples. To assess the validity of the chemical diagnosis of IEM, plasma and urine samples were analyzed in patients affected by Canavan disease (n = 10; mean age 4.6 +/- 2.3). Low plasma levels of N-acetylaspartate (16.96 +/- 19.57 micromol/L plasma; not detectable in healthy adults) and dramatically high urinary N-acetylaspartate concentrations (1872.03 +/- 631.86 micromol/mmol creatinine; 450 times higher than that which was observed in age-matched controls) were recorded. Neither N-acetylglutamate nor N-acetylaspartylglutamate could be detected in the plasma or urine of controls or patients with Canavan disease. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate the suitability of the present ion-pairing HPLC separation with UV detection of cytosine, cytidine, creatinine, uracil, uridine, beta-pseudouridine, adenine, 3-methyladenine, hypoxanthine, xanthine, xanthosine, inosine, guanosine, ascorbic acid, thymine, thymidine, uric acid, 1-methyluric acid, orotic acid, N-acetylaspartate, N-acetylglutamate, N-acetylaspartylglutamate, malonic acid, methylmalonic acid, GSH, and GSSG as a reliable method for the prenatal and neonatal chemical diagnosis and screening of IEM using biological fluids.

Abstract
Olanzapine has previously been shown to have predominant metabolism by cytochrome (CYP) P450 1A2. Caffeine has been shown to provide an accurate phenotypic probe for measuring CYP1A2 activity. The purpose of this study is to determine if a significant correlation exists between olanzapine disposition and caffeine metabolic ratios. Subjects were phenotyped for CYP1A2 activity with caffeine probe methodology. After 200-mg caffeine administration, blood (4 h), saliva (6 and 10 h), and urine (8 h total) were collected for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of caffeine and its metabolites.CYP1A2 activity was measured as plasma (PMR(4 h)), saliva (SMR(6 h) and SMR(10 h)), and three urinary metabolic (UMR1(8 h), UMR2(8 h), and UMR3(8 h)) ratios. Each of the 14 healthy nonsmokers (13 male) received a single 10 mg olanzapine dose after which blood was collected for HPLC determination of olanzapine concentrations at predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h postdose. Olanzapine pharmacokinetic parameters in this study were similar to those previously published. All caffeine metabolic ratios (PMR(4 h), SMR(6 h), SMR(10 h), UMR1(8 h), and UMR2(8 h)) significantly correlated with each other (p <0.001) except for UMR3(8 h), which did not correlate. A significant correlation (p <0.05) was also found between olanzapine clearance and PMR(4 h) (r=0.701), SMR(6 h) (r=0.644), SMR(10 h) (r=0.701), UMR1(8 h) (r=0.745), and UMR2(8 h) (r=0.710). A negative correlation was observed between olanzapine clearance and UMR3(8 h) (r=-0.029, p=NS). A significant correlation was found between olanzapine clearance and various caffeine metabolic ratios. Interpatient variability in CYP1A2 activity may explain the wide interpatient variability in olanzapine disposition. Compounds that modulate CYP1A2 activity may be expected to alter olanzapine pharmacokinetics accordingly.

Abstract
Caffeine is frequently used to treat apnea of prematurity in preterm infants. Because caffeine has a narrow therapeutic window, plasma concentrations are generally monitored weekly. It would be advantageous to monitor this therapy without blood sampling; saliva might offer this possibility. Paired plasma-saliva and saliva-saliva observations were made in preterm infants (n = 140, gestational ages between 24 and 34 weeks) who received caffeine for the treatment of apnea of prematurity. Three methods were used to collect saliva: no stimulation, dilute citric acid on collection gauze, and dilute citric acid in the cheek pouch before collection. Plasma and saliva caffeine concentrations were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For all collection methods, the plots of the plasma/saliva outcomes showed linear relationships. The correlation between caffeine concentration in plasma and saliva and the reproducibility of saliva sampling was better with stimulation of saliva production using citric acid in the cheek pouch (r = 0.89) than with no stimulation (r = 0.68) or with stimulation using citric acid on the collection swab (r = 0.79). Monitoring of caffeine therapy in saliva can be applied reliably for routine use in clinical practice, but its reliability and reproducibility depend on the saliva sampling method used; saliva stimulation with citric acid in the cheek pouch is the best method studied.

Abstract
Caffeine has been used frequently in the treatment and prevention of apnea of prematurity. The metabolism of caffeine depends on the activities of the hepatic enzymes that vary from one infant to another. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of postnatal age (PNA), birth weight (BW), study weight (SW), gestational age (GA), postconceptual age (PCA), and gender on the maturation of caffeine metabolism in premature infants. The caffeine base was administered orally as a loading dose of 10 mg/kg, followed by a maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg every 24 hours. The steady-state concentration of caffeine and metabolites was measured in plasma taken on the 5th-day postloading dose. The molar concentration ratios for the N3 (N3-), N7 (N7-), N1 (N1-), and all methyl (Nall-) demethylation processes; clearance (CL); and the percentage of molar concentration of caffeine found in plasma to that of the total caffeine and metabolites (%CAF) were calculated from samples collected from 80 neonatal infants. The 48 male and 32 female premature infants had median (range) BW (g), GA (weeks), SW (g), PCA (weeks), and PNA (days) of 1300 (650-2260), 30 (24-34), 1630 (980-2670), 34 (29-40), and 28 (5-60), respectively. The median (range) of the ratios for the %CAF, CL, and the N3-, N7-, N1-, and Nall- were 86.9 (52.9-99.0), 0.127 (0.046-0.503) ml.kg-1.min-1, 0.032 (0-0.438), 0.070 (0.007-0.471), 0.026 (0-0.283), and 0.0463 (0.003-0.303), respectively. When the patients were stratified into four PNA age groups, each older group showed a consistently higher level of caffeine metabolic activity for the N3-, N7-, and Nall- pathways with a corresponding decrease in the %CAF, whereas no significant differences were seen for the N1-pathway or for CL. No pattern of significant differences between the demethylation process ratios, %CAF, or CL was seen between groups of infants when they were stratified according to BW, SW, PCA, or GA. The female infants were found to have significantly higher rates of caffeine metabolism as shown by %CAF, N1-, N3-, and Nall- processes but not the N7-. Multivariate linear regression analysis by two methods demonstrated that PNA is significantly related to %CAF and Nall-, whereas the female patients had higher levels of metabolic activity for the %CAF and N1- process. The authors conclude that the N7-demethy-lation process is the predominate caffeine metabolic process in premature infants. Furthermore, the maturation of the caffeine metabolism in premature infants with a PNA of less than 60 days increases with postnatal age, regardless of birth weight, gestational age, postconceptual age, and study weight. The female neonatal patients demonstrated a higher rate of caffeine metabolism than the males.
