Molecular modeling approaches of selective adenosine receptor type 2A agonists as potential anti-inflammatory drugs

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) is the predominant receptor in immune cells, where its activation triggers cAMP-mediated immunosuppressive signaling and the underlying inhibition of T cells activation and T cells-induced effects mediated by cAMP-dependent kinase proteins mechanisms. In this study, were used ADME/Tox, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate selective adenosine A2AR agonists as potential anti-inflammatory drugs. As a result, we obtained two promising compounds (A and B) that have satisfactory pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties and were able to interact with important residues of the A2AR binding cavity and during the molecular dynamics simulations were able to keep the enzyme complexed.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
