Introduction: Adenosine A(2A) Receptor (A(2A)R) antagonists are an emerging class of agents that treat cancers, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapeutic agents. Several studies support the accumulation of extracellular adenosine in the tumor microenvironment as a critical mechanism in immune evasion implicating A(2A)R antagonists for use in immuno-oncology. Areas covered: In this perspective article, the authors briefly outline the history of the A(2A)R antagonist field for central nervous system indications and give their perspective on the status of agents progressing today in oncology. A brief description of the biological rationale in oncology is given. A particular focus of this article is progress in A(2A)R structure determination and its impact on Structure-Based Drug Design. Expert opinion: Our understanding of the A(2A)R antagonist mechanism of action has changed and is now being clinically validated by several key companies in the oncology field. This area is likely to rapidly develop over the next 1-2 years.
