Selective activation of Gαob by an adenosine A1 receptor agonist elicits analgesia without cardiorespiratory depression. [PDF]
The development of therapeutic agonists for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is hampered by the propensity of GPCRs to couple to multiple intracellular signalling pathways.

Adenosine stimulates the basolateral 50 pS K+ channel in renal proximal tubule via adenosine-A1 receptor [PDF]
Background: The basolateral potassium channels play an important role in maintaining the membrane transport in the renal proximal tubules (PT) and adenosine receptors have been shown to regulate the trans-epithelial Na+ absorption in the PT.

Deciphering the Agonist Binding Mechanism to the Adenosine A1 Receptor. [PDF]
ABSTRACTDespite being amongst the most characterized G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), adenosine receptors (ARs) have always been a difficult target in drug design. To date, no agonist other than the natural effector and the diagnostic regadenoson has been approved for human use.

The Signaling Pathways Involved in the Anticonvulsive Effects of the Adenosine A1 Receptor. [PDF]
Adenosine acts as an endogenous anticonvulsant and seizure terminator in the brain. Many of its anticonvulsive effects are mediated through the activation of the adenosine A1 receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor with a wide array of targets. Activating

AMP Is an Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonist* [PDF]
Background: There is no known receptor for the nucleotide AMP. Results: AMP directly activates the adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) but not the adenosine A2B receptor. Conclusion: A1R is a receptor for adenosine and AMP.

Small molecule allosteric modulation of the adenosine A1 receptor [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the target for approximately a third of FDA-approved small molecule drugs. The adenosine A1 receptor (A1R), one of four adenosine GPCR subtypes, has important (patho)physiological roles in humans.

Long-term adenosine A1 receptor activation-induced sortilin expression promotes α-synuclein upregulation in dopaminergic neurons [PDF]
Prolonged activation of adenosine A1 receptor likely leads to damage of dopaminergic neurons and subsequent development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine and Hippocampal Excitability During Brain Development in Rats [PDF]
Objective: The adenosinergic system may influence excitability in the brain. Endogenous and exogenous adenosine has anticonvulsant activity presumably by activating A1 receptors.

Anti-inflammatory preconditioning by agonists of adenosine A1 receptor. [PDF]
BackgroundAdenosine levels rise during inflammation and modulate inflammatory responses by engaging with four different G protein-coupled receptors. It is suggested that adenosine exhibits pro-inflammatory effects through its A(1) receptor (A(1)R), and ...
