α,β-Methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate lithium salt is a synthetic analog of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The introduction of the methylene group makes it more resistant to hydrolysis by ATPases, enzymes that typically break down ATP to release energy. As a result, α,β-Methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate lithium salt serves as a potent agonist for certain purinergic receptors (P2 receptors), which are a class of cell surface receptors sensitive to the nucleotides ATP, ADP, and their analogs. Specifically, α,β-Methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate is known for its selective activation of the P2X purinoceptor subtypes. Research involving α,β-Methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate lithium salt has contributed to a better understanding of purinergic signaling pathways.
