A1AR antagonist 4 (compound 22) is a highly developed chemical compound that acts as a potent and selective antagonist of the A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR). It possesses a pIC50 value of 5.51 and a pKi value of 6.29 [1].
The A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 adenosine receptors (ARs) are ubiquitous G protein-coupled receptors. The four AR subtypes have been implicated in several areas of therapeutic interest such as stroke and other ischemic conditions, as well as inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and sleep regulation. A3 AR antagonists are of interest as therapeutic agents in glaucoma agents and inflammation. CAY10498 is a potent and selective A3 AR antagonist exhibiting a Ki of 37 nM with 60 and 200-fold selectivity over A1 and A2A adenosine receptors, respectively. CAY10498 is also a structural analog of reversine, a dedifferentiation agent of embryonic progenitor cells. However, no dedifferentiation effects or any connection between A3 AR antagonism and dedifferentiation have been demonstrated.
Adenosine receptor inhibitor 1 is a highly potent and selective antagonist of adenosine receptor (AR). It exhibits exceptional affinity for A1AR, A2A AR, A2B AR, and A3 AR, with respective Ki values of >1000, 68.5, >1000, >1000 nM. This compound demonstrates notable antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and peripheral analgesic properties. Therefore, Adenosine receptor inhibitor 1 holds great promise for investigating cancer and neurodegenerative diseases [1].
VCP-746 is a potent adenosine A2B receptor agonist that stimulates anti-fibrotic signalling. VCP746 reduces hypertrophy in a rat neonatal cardiac myocyte model. VCP746 is a hybrid molecule consisting of an adenosine moiety linked to an adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) allosteric modulator moiety. At the A1AR, VCP746 mediated cardioprotection in the absence of haemodynamic side effects such as bradycardia.
