Popis: | 1. The purpose of the present study was to classify adenosine receptors into A1 and A2 subtypes in a wide range of isolated tissues and cell types (rat adipocytes and atria, guinea-pig ileum and atria (A1); guinea-pig aorta, dog coronary artery and human platelets and neutrophils (A2)) using the R- and S-diastereoisomers of N-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA), N-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), the novel compound, N-[(1S,trans)-2-hydroxycyclopentyl]adenosine (GR79236), N-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]adenosine (metrifudil), 2-(phenylamino)adenosine (CV1808), and 2[[2-[4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenyl]ethyl]amino]-N- ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS21680); N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) was used as a standard. 2. Results obtained in all tissue preparations previously reported to contain A1-receptors could be described by a single rank order of agonist potency: CPA > or = GR79236, R-PIA > or = NECA >> S-PAI > or = metrifudil > or = CV1808, CGS21680. 3. In contrast, two distinct rank orders of agonist potency were observed in preparations previously reported to contain A2-receptors. In dog coronary artery, human neutrophils and platelets the rank order of potency was: CV1808, CGS21680 > or = NECA > R-PIA > or = metrifudil > or = CPA > GR79236 S-PIA. However, in guinea-pig aorta the rank order was: NECA > metrifudil > R-PIA, CPA > CV1808, GR79236 > or = S-PIA, CGS21680. 4. The results of this study are consistent with the existence of three types of adenosine receptor: A1-and two subtypes of A2-receptor. The receptor present in dog coronary artery, human platelets and neutrophils, probably corresponds to the A2a subtype, whilst that present in the guinea-pig aorta may be of the A2b subtype. |
