Structure-Based Design, Synthesis by Click Chemistry and in Vivo Activity of Highly Selective A3 Adenosine Receptor Agonists.


ABSTRACT: 2-Arylethynyl derivatives of (N)-methanocarba adenosine 5'-uronamides are selective A3AR (adenosine receptor) agonists. Here we substitute a 1,2,3-triazol-1-yl linker in place of the rigid, linear ethynyl group to eliminate its potential metabolic liability. Docking of nucleosides containing possible short linker moieties at the adenine C2 position using a hybrid molecular model of the A3AR (based on the A2AAR agonist-bound structure) correctly predicted that a triazole would maintain the A3AR selectivity, due to its ability to fit a narrow cleft in the receptor. The analogues with various N6 and C2-aryltriazolyl substitution were synthesized and characterized in binding (Ki at hA3AR 0.3 - 12 nM) and in
