PG - 250-60 AB - A number of cycloalkyl substituents (from C-3 to C-8) have been introduced on the 6-amino group of adenosine, 1-deazaadenosine, and 2'-deoxyadenosine, bearing or not a chlorine atom at the 2-position, to evaluate the influence on the A(1) and A(2A) affinity of steric hindrance and lipophilicity. Furthermore, the guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) shift and the maximal induction of guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate ([(35)S]GTPgammaS) binding to G proteins in rat brain membranes were used to determine the intrinsic activity of these nucleosides at the A(1) adenosine receptor. All compounds of the ribose-bearing series proved to be full agonists, the 1-deaza derivatives showing affinities for the A(1) receptor about 10-fold lower than the corresponding adenosines. On the other hand, all the 2'-deoxyribose derivatives bind to the A(1) receptor with affinities in the high nanomolar range, with the 2-chloro substituted compounds showing slightly higher affinities than the 2-unsubstituted counterparts. In terms of the potencies, the most potent compounds proved to be those bearing four- and five-membered rings. Both GTP shifts and [(35)S]-GTPgammaS experiments showed that most of the 2'-deoxyadenosine derivatives are partial agonists. The 2'-deoxyadenosine derivatives which were identified as partial agonists consistently detected fewer A(1) receptors in the high-affinity state than full agonists. However, it is worthwhile noting that there was not a simple linear relationship between receptor occupancy and activation. These results indicate that a critical density of A(1) adenosine receptors in the high-affinity state is required for G protein activation.
