PET Tracers for Mapping Adenosine Receptors as Probes for Diagnosis of CNS Disorders
Adenosine is an endogenous modulator of several physiological functions in the central nervous system (CNS). The effect is mediated by a receptor family that consists of at least four subtypes: A1, A2A, A2B and A3 receptors. The adenosine receptors play a role in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and schizophrenia. Knowledge on ade...
متن کاملGenetically-encoded molecular probes to study G protein-coupled receptors.
To facilitate structural and dynamic studies of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling complexes, new approaches are required to introduce informative probes or labels into expressed receptors that do not perturb receptor function. We used amber codon suppression technology to genetically-encode the unnatural amino acid, p-azido-L-phenylalanine (azF) at various targeted positions in GPCRs ...
متن کاملPharmacology and Molecular Biology of A2a Adenosine Receptors
Okusa, Mark D. A2A adenosine receptor: a novel therapeutic target in renal disease. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 282: F10–F18, 2002.— Present strategies in the treatment of inflammatory renal injury have focused on developing agents that specifically target individual mechanisms thought to contribute toward the pathogenesis of the disease. Such an approach is hindered by redundancies in the infla...
متن کاملAdenosine-based molecular beacons as light-up probes for sensing heparin in plasma.
This study presents an adenosine-based molecular beacon (MB) for the selective and sensitive detection of heparin based on the competitive binding between heparin and the MB stem to coralyne.
متن کاملMolecular Vibration-Activity Relationship in the Agonism of Adenosine Receptors
The molecular vibration-activity relationship in the receptor-ligand interaction of adenosine receptors was investigated by structure similarity, molecular vibration, and hierarchical clustering in a dataset of 46 ligands of adenosine receptors. The resulting dendrogram was compared with those of another kind of fingerprint or descriptor. The dendrogram result produced by corralled intensity of...
