  • to study the role of A2a receptor in elevating cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels
  • to study its effects on the cell viability of human gastric cancer cell line

Biochem/physiol Actions

3,7-Dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine (DMPX) is a caffeine analog and A2-selective adenosine receptor (AR) antagonist.

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is a secondary cause of bone loss. Bisphosphonates approved for GIO, might induce jaw osteonecrosis; thus additional therapeutics are required. Adenosine receptor agonists are positive regulators of bone remodeling, thus the efficacy of adenosine receptor stimulation for
