| Abstract | 1. This paper describes the in vitro pharmacology of ZM 241385 (4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl) [1,2,4]-triazolo[2,3-a][1,3,5]triazin- 5-yl amino]ethyl) phenol), a novel non-xanthine adenosine receptor antagonist with selectivity for the A2a receptor subtype. 2. ZM 241385 had high affinity for A2a receptors. In rat phaeochromocytoma cell membranes, ZM 241385 displaced binding of tritiated 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) with a pIC50 of 9.52, (95% confidence limits, c.l., 9.02-10.02). In guinea-pig isolated Langendorff hearts, ZM 241385 antagonized vasodilatation of the coronary bed produced by 2-chloroadenosine (2-CADO) and 2-[p-(2-carboxyethyl) phenethylamino]-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS21680) with pA2 values of 8.57 (c.l., 8.45-8.68) and 9.02 (c.l., 8.79-9.24) respectively. 3. ZM 241385 had low potency at A2b receptors and antagonized the relaxant effects of adenosine in the guinea-pig aorta with a pA2 of 7.06, (c.l., 6.92-7.19). 4. ZM 241385 had a low affinity at A1 receptors. In rat cerebral cortex membranes it displaced tritiated R-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA) with a pIC50 of 5.69 (c.l., 5.57-5.81). ZM 241385 antagonized the bradycardic action of 2-CADO in guinea-pig atria with a pA2 of 5.95 (c.l., 5.72-6.18). 5. ZM 241385 had low affinity for A3 receptors. At cloned rat A3 receptors expressed in chinese hamster ovary cells, it displaced iodinated aminobenzyl-5'-N-methylcarboxamido adenosine (AB-MECA) with a pIC50 of 3.82 (c.l., 3.67-4.06). 6. ZM 241385 had no significant additional pharmacological effects on the isolated tissues used in these studies at concentrations three orders of magnitude greater than those which block A2a receptors. At 10 microM it displayed only minor inhibition of the bradycardic effects in guinea-pig atria to some concentrations of carbachol. At 10 microM, ZM 241385 had a small inhibitory effect on relaxant effects of isoprenaline in guinea-pig aortae but no effect on sodium nitrite-induced relaxation. ZM 241385(100 microM) was without effect on phenylephrine-induced tone in guinea-pig aortae.7. ZM 241385 (10 microM) had no inhibitory effect on rat hepatocyte phosphodiesterase types I, II, III and IV but caused a small inhibition of the calcium calmodulin-activated type I enzyme.8. ZM 241385 is the most selective adenosine A2a receptor antagonist yet described and is therefore a useful tool for characterization of responses mediated by A2 adenosine receptors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
