application

8-(3-Chlorostyryl)caffeine has been used as an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist:
  • to study its effects on levodopa (L-DOPA)-induced dopamine (DA) release in rat striatum
  • to study its effect on the nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activity in macrophages
  • to determine its effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

8-(3-Chlorostyryl)caffeine is a selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist and monoamine oxidase B (MAO B) inhibitor.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound with psychoactive therapeutic properties well described. Conversely, the immunological effects of CBD are still poorly explored. In this study, the potential anti-inflammatory effects and underlying mechanisms of CBD and its analog Dimethyl-Heptyl-Cannabidiol (DMH-CBD) were

An adenosine antagonist, 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC), was shown previously to be 520-fold selective for A2a-adenosine receptors in radioligand binding assays in the rat brain. In reversing agonist effects on adenylate cyclase, CSC was 22-fold selective for A2a receptors in rat phenochromocytoma

A series of substituted 8-styryl derivatives of 1,3,7-alkylxanthines was synthesized as potential A2-selective adenosine receptor antagonists, and the potency at rat brain A1- and A2-receptors was studied in radioligand binding experiments. At the xanthine 7-position, only small hydrophobic substituents were

In the present study, we investigated effects of the new selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC) on L-DOPA-induced dopamine (DA) release in the striatum of intact and reserpine-treated rats. CSC given in a pharmacologically effective dose of 5 mg/kg

A(2A) adenosine receptor antagonists have been proposed as a new therapy of PD. Since oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PD, we studied the effect of the selective A(2A) adenosine receptor antagonists 8-(-3-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC) and 4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-ylamino]ethyl)phenol
