4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl¿1,2,4¿-triazolo¿2,3a¿-¿1,3, 5¿triazin-5-yl-amino]ethyl)phenol (ZM 241385) has been used as an antagonist of adenosine A(2A) receptors, exhibiting high selectivity over adenosine A(1) receptors. We now report that ZM 241385 (10-50 nM) attenuated the inhibitory action of N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (10 nM) and R(-)-N(6)-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA, 20 nM), two selective adenosine A(1) receptor agonists, on hippocampal population spike amplitude. This effect is unlikely to be a direct antagonism of adenosine A(1) receptor since the K(i) of ZM 241385 to displace [3H]PIA (2 nM) binding, from hippocampal membranes ranged from 0.8 to 1.9 microM. These results question the usefulness of ZM 241385 to define adenosine A(2A) receptors actions in functional studies.

Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Transformation of pro-interleukin (IL)-1β into a mature IL-1β via active inflammasome may be related to the progression of PD. Therefore, the modification of inflammasome activity may be a potential therapeutic strategy for PD.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea, which leads to episodes of intermittent hypoxia due to obstruction of the upper airway. A key feature of OSA is the upregulation and stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), a crucial metabolic regulator that facilitates rapid adaptation to changes in oxygen availability. Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), a major adenosine receptor, regulates HIF-1 under hypoxic conditions, exerting anti-inflammatory properties and affecting lipid metabolism.

G-Protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest classes of therapeutic targets. However, developing successful therapeutics to target GPCRs is a challenging endeavor with many molecules failing during in vivo clinical trials due to a lack of efficacy. The in vitro identification of drug targeted residence time (1/k) has been suggested to improve prediction of in vivo success.

Vidarabine (VID) is an antiviral medication that is commonly utilized to treat conditions such as hand, foot, and mouth disease and herpes. Constipation is a prevalent complication of these diseases. Could VID treat these diseases by influencing defecation behavior? To date, no studies have been conducted on the potential of VID to relieve constipation.

Aims: Chronic hypobaric hypoxia frequently results in memory deficits, with severe cases showing marked alterations in dopamine levels and its metabolites. This research explores caffeine's modulation of the adenosine AA receptor (AAR) and its regulatory effects on tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), aiming to restore dopamine homeostasis and mitigate memory impairments associated with hypoxia. The goal is to identify novel preventive strategies against cognitive decline induced by hypoxia.
