Adenosine
Application Notes
Adenosine is active in cardiovascular disorders. It is indicated in cases of angina pectoris on account of its property of increasing the coronary output and in cases of hypertension on account of its vasodilator action. It is also active on the peripheral circulation, dilating the capillary vessels. It has also been recommended in the treatment of agranulocytosis. It induces apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells and also has anti-arrhythmic properties.

Biochemical Physiological Actions | Endogenous neurotransmitter at adenosine receptors. Cardioprotective effects may relate to activation of A1 adenosine receptors. The antiplatelet and anti−inflammatory actions of adenosine appear to be mediated via the A2 adenosine receptor. In contrast, adenosine appears to be a pro-inflammatory mediator in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). |
