Abstract
A new, highly potent, selective, and water-soluble antagonist of the hA(3) adenosine receptor was synthesized and tested in binding and functional assays. Compound 4 (5-[[(4-pyridyl)amino]carbonyl]amino-8-methyl-2-(2-furyl)-pyrazolo[4,3-e]1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine hydrochloride) displayed high water solubility (15 mM) and the highest affinity (K(i) = 0.01 nM) and selectivity for the hA(3) versus A(1), A(2A), and A(2B) receptors (>10000-fold) ever reported. A Schild analysis of the antagonism by 4 of agonist-induced inhibition of cAMP production in CHO cells expressing the hA(3) receptor indicated a K(B) value of 0.20 nM.Entities:
