Adenosine plays an important neuroprotective role in brain, usually mediated by the activation of adenosine A₁ receptors. Prolonged activation of a G-protein-coupled receptor generally leads to the partial loss of the responsiveness of receptor-mediated transduction pathways (desensitization). Rat immature cortical

A series of 4-substituted 2-amino-3-benzoylthiophenes was screened using a functional assay of A(1)AR-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in intact CHO cells to identify both potential agonistic effects as well the ability to allosterically modulate the activity of the orthosteric agonist, R-PIA.

Nerve injury can generate neuropathic pain. The accompanying mechanical allodynia may be reduced by the intrathecal administration of adenosine. The neuroprotective effects of adenosine are mediated by the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel. We assessed the relationship between the
