Dear all,

a funny but common mistake:
4.1.4 Study conduct / Standardisation, page 8 (lines 261-263):

'The subjects should abstain from food and drinks, which may interact with circulatory, gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal function (e.g. alcoholic or xanthine-containing beverages or grapefruit juice) during a suitable period before and during the study.'

You will not find xanthine in food and beverages. Correct is methylxanthines, namely 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (aka caffeine: coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks), 3,7-dimethylxanthine (aka theobromine: cocoa, chocolate), and 1,3-dimethylxanthine (aka theophylline: traces in tea). The term 'xanthines' for the methylated derivatives of xanthine - although widely used - is unknown in chemistry.
