7-methylxanthine is used for muscle stimulation and to control appetite. Attempts are being made to develop a method for synthesis of 7-methylxanthine from polymethylated xanthines. Several demethylation procedures were used for synthesis of 7-methylxanthine, involve chlorination followed by hydrolysis.

Synthetic route involving bromination, amination and cyclization of 6-aminouracil was tried.
