Why is it important?

Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists can be developed as promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease, whereas adenosine A3 receptor antagonists as promising anti-cancer and anti-asthmatic agents.

Perspectives

First of all, it was a great privilege and learning experience of working in collaboration with pioneer scientist of this research area like Prof. KN Klotz. Secondly, we are the first research group to report novel thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives as selective antagonists of A2A and A3 adenosine receptors. We believe further optimization of this scaffold would lead to the discovery and development of more potent antagonists.
