Pharmacology of the Adenosine A3 Receptor in the Vasculature and Essential Hypertension. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Essential hypertension is considered to be a multifactorial disorder and its aetiology has yet to be clearly identified. As the adenosine receptors have a significant role in mediating vasodilation, alterations in their structures or ...

Adenosine stimulates the basolateral 50 pS K+ channel in renal proximal tubule via adenosine-A1 receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
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.

Influence of adenosine receptor ligands on ketamine-induced anesthesia in mice

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2012
The influence of adenosine receptor ligands on anesthetic activity of  ketamine was studied in mice. Ketamine-induced anesthesia (100 mg/kg) was significantly increased by the  higher doses of CPA (selective A1 adenosine receptor agonist) and NECA (A1 ...

Molecular Vibration-Activity Relationship in the Agonism of Adenosine Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesGenomics & Informatics, 2013
The molecular vibration-activity relationship in the receptor-ligand interaction of adenosine receptors was investigated by structure similarity, molecular vibration, and hierarchical clustering in a dataset of 46 ligands of adenosine receptors.

Adenosine-Related Mechanisms in Non-Adenosine Receptor Drugs

open access: yesCells, 2020
Many ligands directly target adenosine receptors (ARs). Here we review the effects of noncanonical AR drugs on adenosinergic signaling. Non-AR mechanisms include raising adenosine levels by inhibiting adenosine transport (e.g., ticagrelor, ethanol, and ...

Involvement of Adenosine A2a Receptor in Intraocular Pressure Decrease Induced by 2-(1-Octyn-1-yl)adenosine or 2-(6-Cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl)adenosine

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
The aim of the present study is to clarify the mechanism for the decrease in intraocular pressure by 2-alkynyladenosine derivatives in rabbits. The receptor binding analysis revealed that 2-(1-octyn-1-yl)adenosine (2-O-Ado) and 2-(6-cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl ...
