The brain A(2A) adenosine receptor (A(2A)AR) participates with the dopamine D, receptor in the control of movement and also might influence behavior. Because PET is an important tool for studying the roles of receptors in disease, a ligand for imaging the brain A(2A)AR is desirable. This report describes the synthesis and A(2A)AR antagonist activities of a panel of phenyl-substituted 7-amino-2-(2-furyl)-5-phenylethylamino-oxazolo [5,4-d]pyrimidines, 11aa-af, and their 3-furyl congeners, 11ba-bd. In competitive binding studies all compounds displaced [H-3]CGS21680 from the A(2A)AR with K-i values of 14-33 nM with selectivity for the A(2A)AR over the A(1)AR of 5- to 94-fold. Autoradiography of brain sections showed a high level of unspecific binding that obscured specific binding. Thus, these compounds are not promising PET ligands. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS.
