“In addition, we show that caffeine inhibits immunoprecipitated and purified DNA-PK, as well as DNA-PK in cell extracts, with an IC50 of 0.2-0.6 mM. Caffeine inhibited DNA-PK activity through a mixed non-competitive mechanism with respect to ATP.”
“Increase of intracellular free Ca2+ Caf ) plays an important role in the deterioration of cell structure that occurs during depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).”

“The ATP-induced [Ca2+]i rise was abolished in Ca2+-free solution and was reduced to 30.1±5.5% (n=14) of the control response when ATP was applied immediately after caffeine , and to 23.7±3.8% (n=11) in the presence of thapsigargin.”
