Deskripsi

A set of 2-aryl-9-H or methyl-6-morpholinopurine derivatives were synthesized and assayed through radioligand binding tests at human A<sub>1</sub>, A<sub>2A</sub>, A<sub>2B</sub>, and A<sub>3</sub> adenosine receptor subtypes. Eleven purines showed potent antagonism at A<sub>1</sub>, A<sub>3</sub>, dual A<sub>1</sub>/A<sub>2A</sub>, A<sub>1</sub>/A<sub>2B</sub>, or A<sub>1</sub>/A<sub>3</sub> adenosine receptors. Additionally, three compounds showed high affinity without selectivity for any specific adenosine receptor. The structure-activity relationships were made for this group of new compounds. The 9-methylpurine derivatives were generally less potent but more selective, and the 9H-purine derivatives were more potent but less selective. These compounds can be an important source of new biochemical tools and/or pharmacological drugs.
