Abstract
The selectivities of the diadenosine polyphosphates (Ap(n)As, n=2-6) at the human P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(4), P2Y(6) and P2Y(11) receptors stably expressed in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells was determined using a Fluorescence Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR) to measure intracellular Ca(2+) mobilisation. The rank order of agonist potencies at P2Y(1) were: ADP>P(1),P(3)-diadenosine triphosphate (Ap(3)A)>P(1),P(3)-diadenosine hexaphosphate (Ap(6)A)=P(1),P(3)-diadenosine diphosphate (Ap(2)A)>>P(1),P(3)-diadenosine pentaphosphate (Ap(5)A). P(1),P(3)-diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap(4)A) was inactive up to 1 mM. The rank order of agonist potencies at P2Y(2) were: UTP>Ap(4)A>>Ap(6)A>Ap(5)A>Ap(3)A>>Ap(2)A. The Ap(4)A concentration response curve appeared to be bi-phasic. At P2Y(4) all the Ap(n)As tested were inactive as agonists. At P2Y(6), only Ap(3)A and Ap(5)A showed significant agonist activity. At P2Y(11), only Ap(4)A showed significant agonist activity. Ap(n)As were inactive as antagonists of the P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(4), P2Y(6) and P2Y(11) receptors. At P2Y(4), however, the Ap(n)As potentiated the UTP response.Entities:
