8-Chlorotheophylline, also known as 1,3-dimethyl-8-chloroxanthine, is a stimulant drug of the xanthine chemical class, with physiological effects similar to caffeine.[1] It is combined with pharmaceutical drugs to form stable salts, such as the antiemetic dimenhydrinate, which is broken down into diphenhydramine, the active antiemetic, and 8-Chlorotheophylline, to ward off drowsiness.
