2-Nitro analogues of adenosine and 1-deazaadenosine: synthesis and binding studies at the adenosine A1, A2A and A3 receptor subtypes

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Sep 18;10(18):2141-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00415-7.

Abstract

The influence of nitro substituents on the properties of adenosine and 1-deazaadenosine was studied. Combination of a nitro group at the 2-position with several N6 substituents such as cyclopentyl and m-iodobenzyl gave a series of analogues with good adenosine receptor affinity, showing directable selectivity for the A1, A2A and A3 adenosine receptor subtypes.
