Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines as adenosine antagonists. 1984

L P Davies, and S C Chow, and J H Skerritt, and D J Brown, and G A Johnston

A large number of nitrogen heterocycles structurally related to caffeine and theophylline have been tested for activity as adenosine antagonists. Preliminary screening, utilizing displacement of [3H]N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) binding to rat brain membranes, identified several pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines with potential antagonist activity. These were then tested for their ability to antagonize adenosine-stimulated adenylate cyclase of guinea-pig slices and to block adenosine receptors which mediate presynaptic inhibition of transmitter release from cholinergic nerves in guinea-pig ileum. Of several compounds found to have antagonist activity, one of these, 4,6-bis-alpha- carbamoylethylthio -1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ( DJB -KK) was approximately an order of magnitude more potent than theophylline in both tests. GTP greatly reduces the potency of purine agonists, but not antagonists, as inhibitors of [3H] PIA binding; the potency of the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine compounds was not altered by GTP. The compounds have no significant activity against [3H]adenosine uptake or on the binding of ligands to muscarinic cholinergic, beta-adrenergic, GABA or L-glutamate receptors.

D009538 Nicotine Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke. Nicotine Bitartrate,Nicotine Tartrate

D011743 Pyrimidines A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011983 Receptors, Purinergic Cell surface proteins that bind PURINES with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The best characterized classes of purinergic receptors in mammals are the P1 receptors, which prefer ADENOSINE, and the P2 receptors, which prefer ATP or ADP.
