Potent, selective, and biased adenosine receptor A1 (A1AR) agonist that protects cardiomyocytes against ischemia insult wihout affecting atrial heart rate.
VCP746 is an adenosine receptor A1 (A1AR) agonist composed of adenosine linked to the A1AR positive allosteric modulator VCP171, allowing greatly improved affinity (KI = 58.9 nM vs. 2.95 μM/adenosine & 1.55 μM/VCP171) and potency (GTPγS binding induction EC50 = 0.89 nM vs. 93.3 nM/adenosine & 977 nM/VCP171; hA1AR-CHO membrane) via bitopic receptor engagement with both orthosteric and allosteric sites, as well as biased agonism toward inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP over ERK1/2 phosphorylation (hA1AR-CHO) without hA3AR agonist potency. VCP746 protects against ischemia/hypoxia-induced death of rat neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes (1 μM) and embryonic cardiomyoblasts (300 nM) without affecting isolated rat atrial heart rate.

VCP746 is a novel A1 adenosine receptor (A1 AR) biased agonist previously shown to be cytoprotective with no effect on heart rate. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential anti-hypertrophic effect of VCP746 in neonatal rat cardiac
