Now, from a chemical perspective, caffeine can be described as both a methylxanthine and an alkaloid.

从化学角度来看，咖啡因既可以被描述为甲基黄嘌呤，也可以被描述为生。

There are also medications that help to decrease uric acid levels, which include xanthine oxidase inhibitors like allopurinol.

也有一些药可以帮助降低酸量，包括黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制剂，如别嘌。

Finally, there are some rare stones made of xanthine, which, just like uric acid, is a byproduct of purine breakdown.

最后，还有由黄嘌呤形成的罕见结石，同酸一样，是嘌呤分解的副产。

But it is a stimulant called trimethylxanthine.

但它是一种叫做三甲基黄嘌呤的刺激。

Xanthine oxidase is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of purines to uric acid, so inhibiting this enzyme results in less uric acid production.

黄嘌呤氧化酶负责分解嘌呤为酸，所以抑制这个酶，就可以减少酸的生成。

Caffeine, known to chemists as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, is actually similar in structure to naturally-occurring molecules in our in our body called adenosines.

咖啡因，化学上称为1,3,7-三甲基黄嘌呤，实际上在结构上与我们体内自然存在的腺苷分子相似。
