Adenosine receptors

Adenosine receptors are activated by the endogenous ligand adenosine (potentially inosine also at A₃ receptors). Crystal structures for the antagonist-bound [1,2,3,4], agonist-bound [5,6,7] and G protein-bound A_2A adenosine receptors... [read more] [8] have been described. The structures of an antagonist-bound A₁ receptor [9] and an adenosine-bound A₁ receptor-G_i complex [10] have been resolved by cryo-electronmicroscopy. Another structure of an antagonist-bound A₁ receptor obtained with X-ray crystallography has also been reported [11]. caffeine is a nonselective antagonist for adenosine receptors, while istradefylline, a selective A_2A receptor antagonist, is on the market for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
