  • Antiplatelet drugs act through molecular targets such as purinergic receptors P2Y12, integrinαIIβ3, cyclooxygenase-1, or protease-activated receptors. (wearecellix.com)
  • Finally, CGS21680 reduces cholesterol accumulation (Filipin III staining), which is the main criterion currently used for identification of a compound or pathway that would be beneficial for NPC disease, and such an effect is prevented by the Ca 2+ chelator BAPTA-AM. Our findings strongly support the hypothesis that A 2A R agonists may represent a therapeutic option for NPC1 and provide insights on their mechanisms of action. (jneurosci.org)
  • Bempedoic acid is a first-in-class adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitor that lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver. (medscape.com)
  • Proinflammatory and bronchoconstrictive actions of adenosine in the asthmatic lung are well recognized, with the latter being mediated, in part, through A 1 receptor activation on airway smooth muscle. (jci.org)
  • Presented data are first findings about adenosine receptor interaction with fluoxetine signalling. (nel.edu)
  • Receptor density is high in the striatum and thalamus, moderate in the cerebral cortex and pons, and low in the cerebellum, midbrain and brain stem. (turkupetcentre.net)
  • Adenosine Receptor Agonist HE-NECA Enhances Antithrombotic Activities of Cangrelor and Prasugrel in vivo by Decreasing Fibrinogen Density in Thrombus - By Polak et al. (wearecellix.com)
  • The authors concluded that chronic administration of A2A agonist could be considered a potential component of dual antithrombotic therapy. (wearecellix.com)
  • Properties and functions of ubiquitous adenosine receptor were described with number of agonists and antagonists. (nel.edu)
  • Competitive fluorescent adenosine receptor antagonist (apparent K D values are 7.50, 7.37 and 7.30 for A 2A , A 3 and A 1 respectively). (hellobio.com)
  • Istradefylline is a first-generation A 2A receptor antagonist approved for use as adjunct treatment to levodopa/decarboxylase inhibitor in adult PD patients experiencing OFF episodes. (aspetjournals.org)
  • In addition, we determined co-crystal structures of A 2A receptor in complex with KW-6356 and istradefylline to explore the structural basis of the antagonistic properties of KW-6356. (aspetjournals.org)
