- Crystal Structure and Subsequent Ligand Design of a Nonriboside Partial Agonist Bound to the Adenosine A2AReceptor
-
In this study, we determined the crystal structure of an engineered human adenosine A2A receptor bound to a partial agonist and compared it to structures cocrystallized with either a full agonist or an antagonist/inverse agonist. The interaction between the partial agonist, belonging to a class of dicyanopyridines, and amino acids in the ligand binding pocket inspired us to develop a small library of derivatives and assess their affinity in radioligand binding studies and potency and intrinsic activity in a functional, label-free, intact cell assay. It appeared that some of the derivatives retained the partial agonist profile, whereas other ligands turned into inverse agonists. We rationalized this remarkable behavior with additional computational docking studies.

- The Synthesis of Alkyl- and Aryl-Substituted 1,3,5-Triazines
-
The reaction of chloromethyleneiminium salts with N-cyanoamidines provides a new and versatile route to alkyl- and aryl-substituted 1,3,5-triazines.Variation of substituents in the starting materials allows the synthesis of monoaryl-, diaryl-, alkyl-aryl- and certain mono- and di-alkyl-1,3,5-triazines bearing a variety of other substituents including hydrogen, chlorine and O-, S- and N-radicals.The generally good yields, ready availability of starting materials, and the scope and facility of the reaction make it the method of choice for the synthesis of 1,3,5-triazines with these substitution patterns.
