The inhibition of [3H]nitrobenzylthioinosine ([3H]NBI) binding to human parietal cortex membranes by adenosine transport inhibitors, adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists and dihydropyridines was investigated. While the adenosine transport inhibitors inhibited [3H]NBI binding with Ki values in the low nanomolar range and the adenosine A1 receptor agonist, cyclopentyladenosine, with a Ki in the low micromolar range, no IC50 values could be obtained for the adenosine receptor antagonists at concentrations up to 100,000 nM. Among the dihydropyridines (+)-nimodipine was the most potent with a Ki of 201 +/- 55 nM. Inhibition of adenosine transport thus may contribute to the clinical effects of nimodipine in the central nervous system.
