The present invention is directed to compounds useful as probes for characterizing and studying the adenosine A.sub.2 receptor. The present invention is also directed to methods of treating central nervous system disorders and cardiovascular disorders which include treating hypertension and thrombosis by administering said compounds.
摘要:
Disclosed are (N)-methanocarba adenine nucleosides of formulas (I)-(V), for example, of formula (V): as highly potent A3 adenosine receptor agonists, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such nucleosides, and a method of use of these nucleosides, wherein R1-R6 are as defined in the specification. These nucleosides exhibit similar selectivities as agonists of the A3 versus the A1 receptor for both human and mouse adenosine receptors, and are contemplated for use in the treatment a number of diseases, for example, inflammation, cardiac ischemia, stroke, asthma, diabetes, and cardiac arrhythmias.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of identifying CFTR-binding compounds for treating cells having a reduced apical Cl.sup.- conductance, such as cystic fibrosis cells. This identification method involves the use of polypeptide I.alpha., which constitutes a portion of the CFTR protein. The present invention also provides a method of treating CF cells by contacting cells having a reduced apical Cl.sup.- conductance with a therapeutically effective quantity of a compound selected by the present inventive identification method. Preferred compounds for such treatment have little or no affinity for adenosine cell receptors. The present invention provides novel compounds useful in practicing the present inventive method, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.
摘要:
A method of treating cells having a reduced apical Cl.sup.- conductance, such as that characteristic of cystic fibrosis cells, by contacting cells having a reduced apical Cl.sup.- conductance with a therapeutically effective quantity of a compound that antagonizes the A.sub.1 -adenosine cell receptor and does not antagonize the A.sub.2 -adenosine cell receptor. Suitable compounds include 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (CPX), xanthine amino congener (XAC), and therapeutically effective derivatives thereof.

Compounds, which are muscarinic agents, having the formula ##STR1## wherein Am is --N(R).sub.a).sub.2, --N(R.sub.a).sub.3.sup.+ I.sup.-, --N (CH.sub.2).sub.n', or ##STR2## n' is an integer from 2 to 7 and R.sub.a is an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and each R.sub.a may be the same or different wherein the other substituents are defined hereinbelow.
摘要:
Radioactive fluorine can be easily introduced into biologically active molecules containing amino groups. A p-bromomethyl benzoyl group is coupled to the amino group of the biologically active molecule, and bromine is displaced by fluorine. Alternatively, the bromine on the bromomethylbenzoyl group is first displaced by fluorine, and the fluoromethyl benzoyl group is then coupled to the amino group of the biologically active molecule. The compounds so produced are useful in diagnostic nuclear medicine.
摘要:
A functionalized congener approach to drugs acting at A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 adenosine receptor types is applicable to prodrug design. The prodrugs affect a more efficient delivery of the drug at the particular site of the body affected and take advantage of selective biochemical cleavages and alteration in distribution characteristics. In particular, kidney functions and lipid functions are stressed in the invention.
摘要:
Certain functionalized congeners of 1,3-dialkylxanthine exhibit high potency and selectivity as antagonists for A.sub.1 - and A.sub.2 -adenosine receptors and are suitable for attachment to probes, drug carriers, or solid supports. These derivatives are characterized by the presence of a phenyl at the 8 position para-substituted with a functionalized chain to provide high water solubility and high receptor affinity to such an extent that these compounds are suitable for use as antiallergenic, antiasthmatic, or cardiotonic drugs, central nervous system stimulants, and diuretics.
摘要:
Disclosed are adenosine derivatives, methods for the synthesis thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases, comprising the same as an active ingredient. The adenosine derivatives have high binding affinity and selectivity for adenosine receptors, especially for A3 adenosine receptors and act as A3 adenosine receptor antagonists, and exhibit anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, the adenosine derivatives are useful in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Disclosed are (N)-methanocarba adenine nucleosides, e.g., of formula (I) as highly potent A3 adenosine receptor agonists, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such nucleosides, and a method of use of these nucleosides, wherein R1-R6 are as defined in the specification. These nucleosides exhibit similar selectivities as agonists of the A3 versus the A1 receptor for both human and mouse adenosine receptors, and are contemplated for use in the treatment a number of diseases, for example, inflammation, cardiac ischemia, stroke, asthma, diabetes, and cardiac arrhythmias.
