This study identified a new selective antagonist for the A(3) adenosine receptor, which showed pro-proliferative effects on cancer cells. These findings provide a foundation for further investigation of its mechanism and potential therapeutic applications.
The A(3) adenosine receptor is an interesting target whose role in cancer is controversial. In this work, a structural investigation at the 2-position of the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine nucleus was performed, finding new potent and selective A(3) adenosine receptor antagonists such as the ethyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(methylamino)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-8-carboxylate (20, DZ123) that showed a Ki value of 0.47 nM and an exceptional selectivity profile over the other adenosine receptor subtypes. Computational studies were performed to rationalize the affinity and the selectivity profile of the tested compounds at the A(3) adenosine receptor and the A(1) and A(2A) adenosine receptors. Compound 20 was tested on both A(3) adenosine receptor positive cell lines (CHO-A(3)AR transfected, THP1 and HCT16) and on A(3) negative cancer cell lines, showing no effect in the latter and a pro-proliferative effect at a low concentration in the former. These interesting results pave the way to further investigation on both the mechanism involved and potential therapeutic applications.
