'''Theobromine''' ('''3,7-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione''' or '''xantheose''') is a bitter, white [[Psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the [[xanthine]] class that is closely related to [[caffeine]]. It is one of the main metabolites of [[caffeine]] and is the main alkaloid of [[theobroma cacao]] and its preparations: cocoa and chocolate. It is similar to [[caffeine]] in both its chemical structure and effects but weaker in its antagonism of adenosine receptors. | '''Theobromine''' ('''3,7-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione''' or '''xantheose''') is a bitter, white [[Psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the [[xanthine]] class that is closely related to [[caffeine]].

Theobromine dilates blood vessels and causes a slight increase in cerebral blood flow, but it is not known if this has any effect on cognition. Cocoa Extract, which contains large amounts of Theobromine has been found to increase cerebral oxygenation in young people, but there was no measured increase in cognition<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16794461/</ref> | |||
