• Adenosine is an ubiquitous modulator of numerous physiological activities, particularly within the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The effects of adenosine appear to be mediated by specific cell surface receptor proteins. Adenosine modulates diverse physiological functions including induction of sedation, vasodilation, suppression of cardiac rate and contractility, inhibition of platelet aggregability, stimulation of gluconeogenesis and inhibition of lipolysis. In addition to its effects on adenylate cyclase, adenosine has been shown to open potassium channels, reduce flux through calcium channels, and inhibit or stimulate phosphoinositide turnover through receptor- mediated mechanisms (See for example, C.E. Muller and B.
• Adenosine receptors belong to the superfamily of purine receptors which are currently subdivided into (adenosine) and P 2 (ATP, ADP, and other nucleotides) receptors. Four receptor subtypes for the nucleoside adenosine have been cloned so far from various species including humans .
• Two receptor subtypes exhibit affinity for adenosine in the nanomolar range while two other known subtypes A 2b and A 3 are low-affinity receptors, with affinity for adenosine in the low-micromolar range.
