Abstract

On the basis of our previously reported 2- arylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-ones, a set of 2-arylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-amines were designed as new human (h) A3 adenosine receptor (AR) antagonists. Lipophilic groups with different steric bulk were introduced at the 5-position of the bicyclic scaffold (R5 = Me, Ph, CH2Ph), and different acyl and carbamoyl moieties (R7) were appended on the 7-amino group, as well as a para-methoxy group inserted on the 2-phenyl ring. The presence of acyl groups turned out to be of paramount importance for an efficient and selective binding at the hA3 AR. In fact, most of the 7-acylamino derivatives showed low nanomolar affinity (Ki = 2.5−45 nM) and high selectivity toward this receptor. A few selected pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-amides were effective in counteracting oxaliplatin-induced apoptosis in rat astrocyte cell cultures, an in vitro model of neurotoxicity. Through an in silico receptor-driven approach the obtained binding data were rationalized and the molecular bases of the observed hA3 AR affinity and hA3 versus hA2A AR selectivity were explained.
