BAY 60-6583 is a potent adenosine receptor A2b (A2bR) partial agonist (Ki against 0.3 nM [3H]PSB-603 for binding human/mouse/rat A2bR = 114/136/100 nM) that selectively induces cAMP-dependent transcription activity in CHO transfectants expressing human A2bR (EC50 ~100 nM), but not A1R or A2aR, while exhibiting no affinity toward human/rat/mouse A2aR. BAY 60-6583 also displays low-affinity antagonistic activity toward A1R (Ki against 1 nM [3H]CCPA for binding human/mouse/rat A1R = 387/351/514 nM; IC50 = 7.4 μM against 100 nM CCPA-induced hA1R β-arrestin recruitment) and A3R (Ki against 10 nM [3H]NECA for binding human/mouse/rat A3R = 223/3920/2750 nM; IC50 = 6.7 μM against 30 nM Cl-IB-MECA-induced hA3R β-arrestin recruitment). BAY 60-6583 is widely administered in animals in vivo via i.p. (0.1-80 mg/kg) or i.v. (0.2-2 mg/kg) for studying A2bR-mediated biological responses.

Although protein kinase C (PKC) plays a key role in ischemic preconditioning (IPC), the actual mechanism of that protection is unknown. We recently found that protection from IPC requires activation of adenosine receptors during early reperfusion. We, therefore, hypothesized that
Adenosine receptors (ARs) have emerged as new drug targets. The majority of data on affinity/potency and selectivity of AR ligands described in the literature has been obtained for the human species. However, preclinical studies are mostly performed in mouse or
Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73)-dependent adenosine generation has been implicated in tissue protection during acute injury. Once generated, adenosine can activate cell-surface adenosine receptors (A1 AR, A2A AR, A2B AR, A3 AR). In the present study, we define the contribution of adenosine to
The role played by adenosine A2B receptors (A2BRs) in the regulation of enteric glial cell (EGC) functions remains unclear. This study was aimed at investigating the involvement of A2BRs in the control of EGC functions in a model of obesity.
Tight control of inflammatory gene expression by antagonistic environmental cues is key to ensure immune protection while preventing tissue damage. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) modulates macrophage activation during homeostasis and disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely characterized. Here we dissected
