Abstract

Growing evidence has suggested a role in targeting the adenosine A2A receptor for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The literature compounds KW 6002 (2) and ZM 241385 (5) were used as a starting point from which a series of novel ligands targeting the adenosine A2A receptor were synthesized and tested in a recombinant human adenosine A2A receptor functional assay. In order to further explore these molecules, we investigated the ...
