Abstract
The dose-response effects of adenosine and its analogs on cardiovascular parameters were examined in rats following intravenous administration. 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) was by far the most potent analog in reducing mean arterial blood (PA) pressure while N6-(3-pentyl)-adenosine exerted the most potent bradycardic action. The N6-substituted (S)-diastereoisomers were substantially less potent in reducing PA and heart rate than NECA and the N6-substituted (R)-diastereoisomers. The cardiovascular effects of adenosine analogs persist, to varying degrees, much longer than those of adenosine itself.Entities:
