Blockade of A2AR in this setting has shown to increase tumor clearance through CAR T-cell therapy in mice. [59] Targeting of the A2A receptor is an attractive option for the treatment of a variety of cancers, especially with the therapeutic success of the blockade of other checkpoint pathways such as PD-1 and CTLA-4.
Adenosine is a neuromodulator that is responsible for motor function, mood, memory, and learning. Its main purpose is the coordination of responses to different neurotransmitters. [5] Adenosine plays many important roles in biological systems, for example in the central nervous-, cardiovascular-, hepatic-, renal- and respiratory system.
Caffeine keeps you awake by blocking adenosine receptors. Each type of adenosine receptor has different functions, although with some overlap. [3] For instance, both A 1 receptors and A 2A play roles in the heart, regulating myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow, while the A 2A receptor also has broader anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body.

Cancer Therapy by Inhibition of Negative Immune Regulation (CTLA4, PD1) A2AR & A2BR: The Adenosine A2A receptor is regarded as an important checkpoint in cancer therapy because adenosine in the immune microenvironment, leading to the activation of the A2a receptor, is negative immune feedback loop and the tumor microenvironment has relatively high concentrations of adenosine.

SCH-58261 is a drug which acts as a potent and selective antagonist for the adenosine receptor A 2A, with more than 50x selectivity for A 2A over other adenosine receptors. [1] It has been used to investigate the mechanism of action of caffeine, which is a mixed A 1 / A 2A antagonist, and has shown that the A 2A receptor is primarily responsible for the stimulant and ergogenic effects of ...
It is a xanthine and a derivative of the non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist caffeine. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The affinities (K i ) of MSX-2 for the human adenosine receptors are 5.38 to 14.5 nM for the adenosine A 2A receptor, 2,500 nM for the adenosine A 1 receptor (172- to 465-fold lower than for the A 2A receptor), and >10,000 nM for the ...
The affinities (K i) of the drug for the human adenosine receptors are 5.9 nM for the adenosine A 2A receptor, 410 nM for the adenosine A 1 receptor (69-fold lower than for the A 2A receptor), 260 nM for the adenosine A 2B receptor (44-fold lower than for the A 2A receptor), and >10,000 nM for the adenosine A 3 receptor (>1,695-fold lower than ...
ZM-241,385 is a high affinity antagonist ligand selective for the adenosine A 2A receptor. [1]In animal models, ZM-241,385 has been shown to protect against beta amyloid neurotoxicity and therefore may be useful as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. [2]
