Abstract:
The neuromodulator adenosine affects a wide variety of physiopathological processes through activation of four receptors, classified as A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 subtypes. Adenosine receptors (ARs) belong to family A of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are ubiquitously expressed in the human body. Activation or blockade of ARs is responsible for a wide range of effects in numerous organ systems; and therefore the regulation of ARs can have many potential therapeutic applications. The main objective of this project has been the investigation of the in silico molecular pharmacology of adenosi

Abstract:
8-Cyclopentyl-3-(3-(4-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl)oxy)propyl-propylxanthine (44, FSCPX) has been reported to exhibit potent and selective irreversible antagonism of the A1 adenosine receptor when using in vitro biological preparations. However, FSCPX (44) suffers from cleavage of the ester linkage separating the reactive 4-(fluorosulfonyl)phenyl moiety from the xanthine pharmacophore when used in in vivo biological preparations or preparations containing significant enzyme activity, presumably by esterases.

Abstract:
The aim of this work was the design and synthesis of new A2A and A3 adenosine receptors antagonists. Two different studies have been performed. The first one based on structural modifications of the pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pirimidine nucleus, reported in literature. In order to identify a new series of A2A or A3 AR antagonists and with the aim to better investigate the role of the nitrogen at the 7- position on the interaction with ARs, it was performed a synthetic strategy for the preparation of the pyrrolo[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine nucleus which can be considered

Abstract:
Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines were known as adenosine antagonists at the rat A1 and A2A adenosine receptors based on our previous studies. In this study, 245 pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines derivatives with various benzyl substitutents at N-1 and various hydrophobic side chains at C-4 and C-6 were synthesized and screened at the human A1, A2A and A3 adenosine receptors. 14 out of 245 compounds were resynthesized and purified to determine the Ki values of these compounds at the human A1 adenosine receptor. Chapter 1 of the thesis is a literature review of adenosine research. It describes the physiology

Abstract:
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes, ranging from the transmission of the light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. GPCRs are dysfunctional or deregulated in several human diseases and are estimated to be the target of more than 40% of drugs used in clinical medicine today.

Abstract:
Currently L-DOPA is the drug most commonly used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the long-term use of L-DOPA is associated with the development of motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Treatment mainly addresses the dopaminergic features of the disease and leaves its progressive course unaffected. An optimal treatment would be a combination of both motor and non-motor symptom relief with neuroprotective properties. Two drug targets have attracted the attention for PD treatment, namely monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) and adenosine A2A receptors. MAO-B inhibitors enhance the elev

Abstract:
Background and rationale - Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by reduced levels of dopamine in the brain. The cause of Parkinson's disease is still unknown; however several theories pertaining to the etiology exist. Current treatment mainly aims at dopamine replacement, with agents such as levodopa and dopamine agonists that provide patients with symptomatic relief. This relief is unfortunately only temporary as the progression of the disease is not halted. Furthermore, these therapies are associated with a range of side effects and novel approaches to the treat

Purines as a class of compounds have been implicated in many biological systems, including as adenosine receptor antagonists. A method of synthesising 2,6,9-trisubstituted purines would be useful to produce small libraries of compounds for probing adenosine receptor selectivity. A library of trisubstituted purines has been achieved using a solid-phase methodology. The electronic properties of the substrate were found to result in difficulties with the loading of substrate onto the resin.
