Biological Activity
Namodenoson (CF-102) is a selective A3 adenosine receptor agonist (Ki = 0.33 nM). Displays 2500- and 1400-fold selectivity over A1 and A2A receptors respectively.
In Vitro
In human ADF cells of astroglial lineage, 100 nM Namodenoson (2-Cl-IB-MECA) caused a marked reorganization of the cytoskeleton, with appearance of stress fibres and numerous cell protrusions. High concentrations of Namodenoson (2-Cl-IB-MECA) directly cause influx of Ca2+[2].
In Vivo
Intravenous administration of 200 μg/kg Namodenoson (2-Cl-IB-MECA) resulted in a short-lasting hypotension, which was accompanied by a 50-100-fold increase in plasma histamine concentrations. Administration of a second dose of Namodenoson (2-Cl-IB-MECA) did not elicit any hemodynamic effects[1].
