Abstract

One of the four G protein-coupled receptors for adenosine, the A 1 adenosine receptors (A 1 AR), is widely distributed in the body and modulates numerous normal and pathological processes, through signaling pathways including those downstream from its coupled G i protein. It is an attractive drug target for heart failure, arrhythmias, angina, asthma, stroke, seizure, pain, depression, and diabetes. In this chapter, we describe the A 1 AR structure, function, signaling pathways, and therapeutic applications. We detail numerous structure-activity features of A 1 AR agonists, antagonists, and allosteric modulators, introduced as pharmacological tools and molecules for clinical development.
