Abstract
Phosphorothioate analogues of ATP, ADP and AMP were tested on the guinea-pig taenia coli and urinary bladder. The Rp diastereoisomers of the phosphorothioate analogues, ATP-alpha-S and ADP-alpha-S were respectively 7 and 3 times more effective than the Sp diastereoisomers in causing relaxation of the taenia coli. No stereoselectivity was observed for the diastereoisomers of ATP-beta-S. In guinea-pig bladder, no stereoselectivity was observed for any of the phosphorothioate analogues. These results show that P2-purinoceptors mediating inhibitory responses in the guinea-pig taenia coli show marked stereoselectivity, while P2-purinoceptors mediating excitatory responses in the guinea-pig bladder show little stereoselectivity.Entities:
