Synthesis and SAR studies of trisubstituted purinones as potent and selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Mar 1;19(5):1399-402. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.01.042. Epub 2009 Jan 19.

Abstract

A series of trisubstituted purinones was synthesized and evaluated as A(2A) receptor antagonists. The A(2A) structure-activity relationships at the three substituted positions were studied and selectivity against the A(1) receptor was investigated. One antagonist 12o exhibits a K(i) of 9nM in an A(2A) binding assay, a K(b) of 18nM in an A(2A) cAMP functional assay, and is 220-fold selective over the A(1) receptor.
