摘要:
A series of N-1 monosubstituted 8-pyrazolyl xanthines have been synthesized and evaluated for their affinity for the adenosine receptors (AdoRs). We have discovered two compounds 18 (CVT-7124) and 28 (CVT-6694) that display good affinity for the A(2B) AdoR (K-i = 6 nM and 7 nM, respectively) and greater selectivity for the human A(1), A(2A), and A(3) AdoRs (> 1000-, > 830-, and > 1500-fold; > 850-, > 700-, and > 1280- fold, respectively). CVT-6694 has been shown to block the release of interleukin-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 from bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMC), a process believed to be promoted by activation of A2B AdoR.
