Abstract

Many selective agonists and antagonists of the A 2A adenosine receptor (AR) have been reported, while allosteric modulators specific for this receptor are still needed. Many heterocyclic chemotypes have been discovered as A 2A AR antagonists, while most of the known AR agonists are nucleosides or 3,5-dicyanopyridine derivatives. A few A 2A AR ligands have been in clinical trials as antihypertensives, anti-inflammatory or diagnostic compounds (agonists), and as drugs for treating Parkinson’s disease and cancer (antagonists). The A 2A AR has become one of the most widely investigated G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures using X-ray crystallography and also biophysical techniques such as NMR. Thus, the design of agonists, antagonists, and allosteric modulators has become structure-based, with numerous examples of in silico approaches, including virtual ligand screening (VLS), leading to the discovery of both novel agonists and antagonists.
