• Depending on substitutions on some key positions of their scaffold they show selectivity towards A1, A2A or A3 receptors, which results in a variety of therapeutic potentialities of these ligands. (unige.it)
  • In this work, we present a QSAR study on these analogues as antagonists for adenosine A1 receptors. (unige.it)
  • Using the MOE software we identified a pool of descriptors that numerically describes the ligand features impacting the affinity at adenosine A1 receptors. (unige.it)
  • 4-6), containing aralkyl chains on N7 and N8 positions, were synthesized and tested as antagonists in receptor binding and in vitro functional assays to evaluate their potency for A(2A) compared with A1 adenosine receptors. (unife.it)
  • Pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines have been recently presented as a novel class of adenosine A1 receptor antagonists. (unige.it)
  • The obtained information is useful to understand the main structural features that strongly correlate with the A1 antagonism in this class of compounds and will be used for the rational design of more potent and selective pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives. (unige.it)
