A series of 8-(substituted phenyl) derivatives of theophylline and other 1,3-dialkylxanthines were evaluated for potency and selectivity as antagonists at A1- and A2-adenosine receptors in brain tissue. Theophylline has a similar potency (Ki = 14 microM) at both A1 and
The purpose of this study was to investigate in vivo the effects of modulating the adenosine system on endotoxin-induced release of cytokines and changes in heart performance and neurohumoral status in early, profound endotoxemia in rats. Time/pressure variables of heart
The extracellular "cAMP-adenosine pathway" refers to the local production of adenosine mediated by cAMP egress into the extracellular space, conversion of cAMP to AMP by ectophosphodiesterase, and the metabolism of AMP to adenosine by ecto-5'-nucleotidase. The goal of this study

Recent studies have demonstrated that three membrane-permeant A(1) receptor antagonists reduced infarct size in a model of ischemia followed by brief reperfusion. However, it was not determined whether cardioprotection was mediated by nonspecific intracellular effects of these highly lipophilic drugs
Carbon monoxide has been identified as an endogenous biological messenger in the brain. Heme oxygenase catalyzes the metabolism of heme to carbon monoxide and biliverdin. Previously, we have shown the involvement of carbon monoxide in central cardiovascular regulation, baroreflex modulation
