General description

5′-(N-Ethylcarboxamido)adenosine stimulates vasodilation in the pulmonary circulation through A2-adenosine-receptor activation.

Application

5′-(N-Ethylcarboxamido)adenosine has been used:
  • for the purification of human adenosine A2Areceptor (A2AR) in decylmaltoside (DM)
  • to determine nonspecific binding of adenosine receptors
  • to investigate adenosine 2B receptor (RA2B) mechanism of action by competition assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent adenosine receptor agonist with nearly equal affinity at A1 and A2 receptors.
