Application

MRS 2578 has been used an antagonist of purinoceptor P2Y6:
  • to study the role of purinergic receptor in Up4A-induced relaxation in coronary small arteries from swine
  • in P. aeruginosa infected mice to test its effect on the inflammatory responses
  • to test its inhibition on neutrophil extracellular traps and monosodium urate (MSU) crystals formation in polymorphonuclear leukocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

MRS 2578 elicits cytoprotective functionality in neuroblastoma cells and prevents dopaminergic neuron death under in vitro and in vivo conditions. It also protects microglia by delaying lipopolysaccharide-induced death.
Potent and irreversible antagonist of P2Y6 nucleotide receptor.

Some apoptotic processes, such as phosphatidylserine exposure, are potentially reversible and do not necessarily lead to cell death. However, phosphatidylserine exposure can induce phagocytosis of a cell, resulting in cell death by phagocytosis: phagoptosis. Phagoptosis of neurons by microglia might

We previously demonstrated that uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4A) induces potent and partially endothelium-dependent relaxation in the healthy porcine coronary microvasculature. We subsequently showed that Up4A-induced porcine coronary relaxation was impaired via downregulation of P1 receptors after myocardial infarction. In view
