A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) agonists have cerebroprotective, cardioprotective, antinociceptive, and other pharmaceutical applications. We explored the structure–activity relationship of 5-arylethynyl aminothiophenes as A1AR positive allosteric modulators (PAMs). The derivatives were compared in binding functional assays at human A1AR, indicating that some fluoro-substituted analogues enhanced PAM activity. identified substitution terminal phenyl ring 12 (2-F-Ph), 15 (3,4-F2-Ph, MRS7935), 21 (2-CF3-Ph) particularly enhancing was also shown to act an ago-PAM with EC50 ≈ 2 μM, without activity (30 μM) ARs. Molecular modeling indicated both 4-neopentyl groups are located a region outside transmembrane helix bundle is contact phospholipid bilayer, consistent preference for nonpolar aryl moiety. Although they hydrophobic, these PAMs could provide potential drug candidate molecules engaging protective A1ARs.

Abstract Background and Purpose Adenosine, through the A 1 receptor (A R), is an endogenous anticonvulsant. The development of adenosine agonists as antiseizure medications has been hampered by their cardiac side effects. moderately R‐selective agonist, MRS5474, reported to suppress seizures without considerable action. Hypothesizing that this drug could act other than R and/or a disease‐specific mechanism, we assessed effect MRS5474 on hippocampus. Experimental Approach Excitatory synaptic currents, field potentials, spontaneous activity, [ 3 H]GABA uptake GABAergic currents were recorded from rodent or human hippocampal tissue. Alterations in R) density tissue Western blot. Key Results (50–500 nM) was devoid upon excitatory signals slices, except when hyperexcitability previously induced vivo ex vivo. inhibited GABA transporter type (GAT‐1)‐mediated γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) uptake, action not blocked antagonist but mimicked agonist. overexpressed samples patients with epilepsy had focal resection surgery. concentration‐dependent potentiation GABA‐evoked oocytes micro‐transplanted membranes prepared epileptic non‐epileptic tissue, antagonist. Conclusion Implications We identified activates selective actions This underscores promising target for medications.

We previously found that chronic adenosine A1 receptor stimulation with N6-Cyclopentyladenosine increased α-synuclein misfolding and neurodegeneration in a novel α-synucleinopathy model, hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. Here, we aimed to synthesize dimer caffeine-indan linked by 6-carbon chain cross the blood-brain barrier tested its ability bind α-synuclein, reducing misfolding, behavioural abnormalities, our rodent model. Behavioural tests histological stains assessed neuroprotective effects compound.

A set of 2-aryl-9-H or methyl-6-morpholinopurine derivatives were synthesized and assayed through radioligand binding tests at human A1, A2A, A2B, A3 adenosine receptor subtypes. Eleven purines showed potent antagonism A3, dual A1/A2A, A1/A2B, A1/A3 receptors. Additionally, three compounds high affinity without selectivity for any specific receptor. The structure-activity relationships made this group new compounds. 9-methylpurine generally less but more selective, the 9H-purine selective. These can be an important source biochemical tools and/or pharmacological drugs.

A1-adenosine receptors (A1AR) are widely distributed in the human body and mediate many different effects. They abundantly present cardiovascular system, where they control angiogenesis, vascular tone, heart rate, conduction. This makes system A1AR an attractive target for treatment of diseases (CVD). The review summarizes literature data on structure functioning A1AR, analyzes their involvement formation myocardial hypertrophy, ischemia-reperfusion damage, various types rhythm disorders, chronic failure, arterial hypertension. Special attention is paid to role some allosteric regulators as potential agents CVD treatment.
