A series of adenosine receptor antagonists bearing a reactive linker was developed. Functionalization of these derivatives is useful to easily obtain multi-target ligands, receptor probes, drug delivery systems, and diagnostic or theranostic systems. The pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine scaffold was chosen as a pharmacophore for the adenosine receptors. It was substituted at the 5 position with reactive linkers of different lengths. Then, these compounds were used to synthesise probes for the adenosine receptors by functionalization with a fluorescent moiety. Both series of compounds were evaluated for their binding at the four adenosine receptor subtypes. Different affinity and selectivity profiles were observed towards hA1, hA2A and hA3 adenosine receptors. In particular, fluorescent compounds behave as dual hA2A/hA3 ligands. Computational studies suggested different binding modes for developed compounds at the three receptors. Both molecular docking and supervised molecular dynamics (SuMD) simulations confirmed that the preferred binding mode at the single receptor was driven by the substitution present at the 5 position. Obtained results rationalized the compounds' binding profile at the adenosine receptors and pave the way for the development of more potent conjugable and conjugated ligands targeting these membrane receptors.
