125I-4-aminobenzyl-5'-N-methylcarboxamidoadenosine, a high affinity radioligand for the rat A3 adenosine receptor.

Mol. Pharmacol. 45 , 978-982, (1994)

The rat A3 adenosine receptor (AR) is a recently characterized AR subtype cloned from testis and brain cDNA libraries. N6-2-(4-Amino-3-[125I]iodophenyl)ethyladenosine, a high affinity A1AR agonist, has served as the only radioligand available for study of the...

A role for central A3-adenosine receptors. Mediation of behavioral depressant effects.

FEBS Lett. 336 , 57-60, (1993)

The behavioral effects of a selective A3 adenosine receptor agonist 3-IB-MECA (N6-(3-iodobenzyl)-5'-N-methylcarboxamidoadenosine) in mice and the localization of radioligand binding sites in mouse brain were examined. Low levels of A3 adenosine receptors were...

Structure-activity relationships of N6-benzyladenosine-5'-uronamides as A3-selective adenosine agonists.

J. Med. Chem. 37 , 636-646, (1994)

Adenosine analogues modified at the 5'-position as uronamides and/or as N6-benzyl derivatives were synthesized. These derivatives were examined for affinity in radioligand binding assays at the newly discovered rat brain A3 adenosine receptor and at rat brain...
