Newer adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists are much more potent and subtype-selective, and have allowed extensive research into the effects of blocking or stimulating the individual adenosine receptor subtypes, which is now resulting in a new generation of more selective drugs with many potential medical uses. (wikipedia.org)
Here, we review the experimental evidence in support of adenosine receptor-based therapeutic strategy for ROP, including the aberrant adenosine signaling in oxygen-induced retinopathy and the role of three adenosine receptor subtypes (A1R, A2AR, A2BR) in development and treatment of ROP using oxygen-induced retinopathy models. (unboundmedicine.com)
All four adenosine receptor subtypes (A 1 , A 2A , A 2B , and A 3 ) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), either increasing or decreasing intracellular cAMP levels by affecting adenylate cyclase activity. (turkupetcentre.net)
Protein-coupled receptors1
The adenosine receptors (or P1 receptors) are a class of purinergic G protein-coupled receptors with adenosine as the endogenous ligand. (wikipedia.org)
Agonists4
Specific A1 antagonists include 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), and Cyclopentyltheophylline (CPT) or 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (CPX), while specific agonists include 2-chloro-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA). (wikipedia.org)
Selective agonists and antagonists have been developed for each of the AR subtypes. (turkupetcentre.net)
In addition to AR agonists and antagonists, also allosteric modulators have been introduced. (turkupetcentre.net)
addressing the essential problems of antagonistic incomplete agonists for receptor tyrosine kinases gets the potential to steer oncology medication discovery in brand-new directions. (biobender.com)
Glutamate receptors2
ARs can form oligomers, also with other receptors than just the AR subtypes, including P2 purinoceptors , dopamine , and glutamate receptors, which affects also the kinetics of PET radiopharmaceuticals. (turkupetcentre.net)
ii) the increase in calcium, sodium and chloride amounts due to NMDA glutamate receptors hyperactivation was connected with extreme depolarization from the postsynaptic membrane, the starting point of neurodegenerative procedures and cell loss of life [23]. (bioerc-iend.org)
NMDA3
Presynaptically, it reduces synaptic vesicle release while post synaptically it has been found to stabilize the magnesium on the NMDA receptor. (wikipedia.org)
methods applied to synthetic compounds led to the identification of new AChE inhibitors, NMDA antagonists, multipotent hybrids targeting different AD processes and metal-organic compounds acting as A inhibitors. (bioerc-iend.org)
Natural compounds appear as multipotent brokers, acting on several AD pathways: cholinesterases, NMDA receptors, secretases or A, but their efficiency and their correct dosage should be decided. (bioerc-iend.org)
Caffeine7
The adenosine receptors are commonly known for their antagonists caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline, whose action on the receptors produces the stimulating effects of coffee, tea and chocolate. (wikipedia.org)
Xanthine derivatives such as caffeine and theophylline act as non-selective antagonists at A1 and A2A receptors in both heart and brain and so have the opposite effect to adenosine, producing a stimulant effect and rapid heart rate. (wikipedia.org)
Theophylline and caffeine are nonselective adenosine antagonists that are used to stimulate respiration in premature infants. (wikipedia.org)
The clinical and initial animal evidence that implicate the therapeutic effect of caffeine (a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist) in treatment of ROP are highlighted. (unboundmedicine.com)
Lastly, we discussed the translational potential as well therapeutic advantage of adenosine receptor- and caffeine-based therapy for ROR and possibly other proliferative retinopathy. (unboundmedicine.com)
Caffeine, one of the most consumed central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, is an antagonist of A 1 and A 2A adenosine receptors. (frontiersin.org)
Dopamine4
These two receptors also have important roles in the brain, regulating the release of other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and glutamate, while the A2B and A3 receptors are located mainly peripherally and are involved in processes such as inflammation and immune responses. (wikipedia.org)
As illustrated in shape 2 in the framework from the aberrant salience model referred to previously blockade of D2 receptors by antipsychotic medicines will dampen the propensity of unacceptable dopamine release to bring about aberrantly designated salience [15;45]. (hiv-proteases.com)
Adenosine receptors are closely associated with dopamine receptors and form heteromer s with them. (adxs.org)
At the same time, adenosine modulates striatal DA release by stimulating glutamate release at adenosine receptors in the striatum , which increases dopamine levels. (adxs.org)
GPCRs1
Like other GPCRs, adenosine receptors have a single polypeptide chain, forming three extracellular and three intracellular loops. (turkupetcentre.net)
Inhibitory3
This receptor has an inhibitory function on most of the tissues in which it is expressed. (wikipedia.org)
novel DAP-12-coupled 'activating' CD33rSiglecs have been identified such as siglec-14 and siglec-16 which are paired with the inhibitory receptors siglec-5 and siglec-11 respectively. (hiv-proteases.com)
The development of these activating receptors may have been driven in part by pathogen exploitation of inhibitory siglecs thereby providing the host with additional pathways by which to combat these pathogens. (hiv-proteases.com)
Selective2
Furthermore, the non-selective purinergic P2 receptor antagonist PPADS but not the P1 receptor antagonist 8PT attenuated the cardioprotection induced by RBCs from STEMI patients. (bvsalud.org)
Some of these compounds are still derived from adenosine or from the xanthine family, but researchers in this area have also discovered many selective adenosine receptor ligands that are entirely structurally distinct, giving a wide range of possible directions for future research. (wikipedia.org)
Sedative effect1
Most older compounds acting on adenosine receptors are nonselective, with the endogenous agonist adenosine being used in hospitals as treatment for severe tachycardia (rapid heart beat), and acting directly to slow the heart through action on all four adenosine receptors in heart tissue, as well as producing a sedative effect through action on A1 and A2A receptors in the brain.

Adenosine has the highest affinity to the A 1 R and A 2A R, intermediate affinity to A 3 R, and lowest affinity to A 2B R. Adenosine activates A 1 and A 2A receptors already in nanomolar concentrations. (turkupetcentre.net)
Myocardial5
We investigated whether RBCs from patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and whether such effect involves NO and purinergic signaling in the RBCs. (bvsalud.org)
This study demonstrates a novel function of RBCs in STEMI patients providing protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury through the P2Y13 receptor and the NO-sGC-PKG pathway. (bvsalud.org)
For instance, both A1 receptors and A2A play roles in the heart, regulating myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow, while the A2A receptor also has broader anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body. (wikipedia.org)
The A1, together with A2A receptors of endogenous adenosine play a role in regulating myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow. (wikipedia.org)
Stimulation of the A1 receptor has a myocardial depressant effect by decreasing the conduction of electrical impulses and suppressing pacemaker cell function, resulting in a decrease in heart rate. (wikipedia.org)
Extracellular1
Notably, cellular responses to hypoxia are characterized by robust increases in extracellular adenosine production and the markedly induced adenosine receptors, which provide a novel target for preferential control of pathological angiogenesis without affecting normal vascular development. (unboundmedicine.com)

Clinical5
1.3 Common strategies for antagonizing ligand-induced receptor tyrosine kinase signaling Small molecules and antibodies that target and antagonize RTK signaling have came into clinical practice. (biobender.com)
However it has subsequently transpired that this was the first clue to a curious property of the relationship between antipsychotic drug occupancy of D2 receptors and clinical response - it appears to be nonlinear. (hiv-proteases.com)
D2 receptor occupancy was determined with [11C]raclopride PET imaging following two weeks of antipsychotic treatment and clinical response assessed in the patients. (hiv-proteases.com)
The results confirmed that clinical efficacy requires a threshold of occupancy of D2 receptors. (hiv-proteases.com)
Receptor occupancy much above 65% was associated with a far higher risk of side-effects (see below) but little further clinical improvement. (hiv-proteases.com)
Calcium1
Over-expression of siglec-G inhibited B-cell-receptor-mediated Ca2+ signalling and the siglec-G-deficient B1a cells exhibited exaggerated calcium signalling and improved IgM production.41 A similar phenotype has been observed in Ibodutant (MEN 15596) SHP-1-deficient mice which show expansion of the B1-cell populace and higher B-cell receptor-induced calcium signalling in B cells. (hiv-proteases.com)
Treatment1
