2-Arylethynyl-(N)-methanocarba adenosine 5'-methyluronamides containing rigid N(6)-(trans-2-phenylcyclopropyl) and 2-phenylethynyl groups were synthesized as agonists for probing structural features of the A3 adenosine receptor (AR). Radioligand binding confirmed A3AR selectivity and N(6)-1S,2R stereoselectivity for one diastereomeric pair. The environment of receptor-bound, conformationally constrained N(6) groups was explored by docking to an A3AR homology model, indicating specific hydrophobi ...[more]
