Michal Hofer et al.
International journal of radiation biology, 86(8), 649-656 (2010-07-01)
Research areas of 'post-exposure treatment' and 'cytokines and growth factors' have top priority among studies aimed at radiological nuclear threat countermeasures. The experiments were aimed at testing the ability of N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA), an adenosine A(3) receptor agonist, to modulate hematopoiesis
Sarvesh Jajoo et al.
Neoplasia (New York, N.Y.), 11(11), 1132-1145 (2009-11-03)
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and second most lethal malignancy in men, due mainly to a lack of effective treatment for the metastatic disease. A number of recent studies have shown that activation of the purine nucleoside receptor
Shane M Devine et al.
Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 18(9), 3078-3087 (2010-04-14)
A number of N(6)-substituted adenosine-5'-N-methylcarboxamides were synthesised and their pharmacology, in terms of their receptor affinity, selectivity and cardioprotective effects, were explored. The first series of compounds, 4a-4f and 5a-5f, showed modest receptor affinity for the A(3)AR with K(i) values
Jorge Guzman et al.
Inflammatory bowel diseases, 12(8), 766-789 (2006-08-19)
Adenosine A3 receptors (ADOA3Rs) are emerging as novel purinergic targets for treatment of inflammatory diseases. Our goal was to assess the protective effect of the ADOA3R agonist N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)-adenosine-5-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA) on gene dysregulation and injury in a rat chronic model of
L Rath-Wolfson et al.
Clinical and experimental rheumatology, 24(4), 400-406 (2006-09-08)
The anti-inflammatory effect of adenosine is partially mediated via the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR), a Gi protein associated cell surface receptor. The highly selective A3AR agonist, IB-MECA was earlier shown to prevent the clinical and pathological manifestations of arthritis in
