Biochem/physiol Actions

8-Aminoguanosine, a guanosine derivative, is an orally available and highly efficacious potassium-sparing diuretic/natriuretic that increased sodium excretion by 26.2-fold and decrease potassium excretion by 69.1%. 8-Aminoguanosine increases glucose excretion by 12.2-fold. Also 8-Aminoguanosine suppressed deoxycorticosterone/salt-induced hypertension.
8-Aminoguanosine is known to stimulate diuresis, natriuresis, glucosuria and antikaliuresis. It is an analog of guanosine, that can block purine nucleoside phosphorylase, in vitro and in intact lymphoid cells. 8-aminoguanosine triphosphate can be used to block GTP (guanosine triphosphate) cyclohydrolase I from human liver and Escherichia coli.

Attenuated purine levels are characteristic findings of ischemic preconditioning (PC). Lower energy demand in PC myocardium leading to less nucleotide decay is a reasonable explanation. However, experimental data suggest that the activities of the enzymes involved in purine metabolism are

The adenosine axis contributes to the suppression of antitumor immune responses. The ectonucleotidase CD39 degrades extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is degraded to adenosine by CD73. Adenosine binds to, e.g., the A2a receptor (A2aR), which reportedly
