Background
Adenosine is a neuromodulator that is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Many of the actions of adenosine are mediated through G protein-coupled adenosine receptors. Adenosine receptors have been classified into A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 subtypes. Modulation of adenosine receptors by selective agonists and antagonists has potential for the treatment of various cardiovascular inflammatory and neurological diseases.
