Description
An adenosine analog that acts as a highly selective agonist of adenosine A3 receptor (Ki = 330 pM, 820 nM, 470 nM for A3, A1 and A2A, respectively). Shown to reduce ischemia reperfusion injury in mice and limit infarct size in isolated rat hearts. Shown to reversibly increase field excitatory postsynaptic potentials in hippocampal slices and exhibits excitatory effects on both evoked and spontaneous epileptiform discharges.A highly selective agonist of adenosine A3 receptor (Ki = 330 pM)
