Abstract
A series of 2-(N-acyl) and 2-(N-acyl)-N(6)-alkyladenosine analogues
have been synthesized from the intermediate 2-amino-6-chloroadenosine
derivatives (2b and 7) and evaluated for their affinity at the human
A(1), A(2A), and A(3) receptors. We found that 2-(N-acyl) derivatives
of adenosine showed relatively low affinity at A(2A) and A(3) receptors,
while the N(6)-cyclopentyl substituent in 4h and 4i induced high
potency A(1) (K(i))=20.7 and 31.8 nM respectively at the A(1) receptor
and resulted therefore in increased selectivity for this subtype.
The general synthetic methods and their binding studies are presented
herein.
