Adenosine A3-R Inhibitors

CGS 15943 is a selective antagonist of the adenosine A3 receptor, exhibiting a unique binding profile that stabilizes the receptor in an inactive conformation. Its distinct molecular architecture allows for specific hydrophobic interactions, enhancing selectivity over other adenosine receptors. The compound demonstrates rapid dissociation kinetics, which may lead to transient modulation of receptor signaling. Furthermore, CGS 15943's solubility properties facilitate effective distribution within lipid environments, influencing its overall bioavailability.

Cl-IB-MECA, while primarily an agonist at A3 receptors, can act as an inverse agonist under certain conditions, potentially leading to inhibition of A3 receptor-mediated signaling.

PD 116,948 is an antagonist of A1 adenosine receptors but also shows activity against A3 receptors. By binding to these receptors, it can inhibit their activation and the downstream signaling processes.

Istradefylline, also known as istradefylline, primarily antagonizes A2A receptors but can also affect A3 receptors. Its action on A3 receptors can lead to an inhibition of their signaling pathways.
