Abstract

7-(Oxoalkyl)-1,3-dialkyl xanthines whose substituents in the 1- and 3-positions are alkyl groups of 2 to 6 carbons, cyclohexyl, alkoxyalkyl or hydroxyalkyl, such as 7-(3-oxobutyl)-1,3-di-n-butylxanthine, are effective vasodilators, having a marked activity in promoting blood flow through skeletal muscle, while at the same time exhibiting low toxicity.
