Mj. Wanner et al., 2-nitro analogues of adenosine and 1-deazaadenosine: Synthesis and bindingstudies at the adenosine A(1), A(2A) and A(3) receptor subtypes, BIOORG MED, 10(18), 2000, pp. 2141-2144
The influence of nitro substituents on the properties of adenosine and 1-de
azaadenosine was studied. Combination of a nitro group at the 2-position wi
th several N-6 substituents such as cyclopentyl and m-iodobenzyl gave a ser
ies of analogues with good adenosine receptor affinity, showing directable
selectivity for the A(1), A(2A) and A(3) adenosine receptor subtypes. (C) 2
