KEYWORDS: Adenosine A(2B) receptor, Yeast liquid growth assay, structure affinity relationship.
ABSTRACT: The A2B-receptor is part of the Adenosine-receptor family and gets activated by its endogenous ligand adeno-
sine. However, it doesn’t get activated in normal physiological conditions due to its low-affinity for the A2B-receptor.
Pathological conditions result in higher adenosine concentrations, into the micromolar, and thus only gets activated in
pathological conditions which turns this receptor in an interesting therapeutical target for pathological indications. How-
ever, as mentioned before the A2B-receptor is a low-affinity receptor and thus there is a need for potent antagonist. The
aim of this study is to evaluate the antagonistic effects 104 synthesized ligands with a core based on the LAS101057 by a
yeast liquid growth assay. Results indicate that ligands with an 6-(3-(electron withdrawing group)-phenyl) or just a phe-
nyl, 5-(4-(hydrogen bond acceptor)phenyl) and a small group at the carboxamide group are the most potent. Ligands 10,
58 and 66 comply to these rules and showed high potency.

by coupling to Gq proteins which increases the intracellu-
lar calcium levels5. However, under normal physiological
circumstances the A2B receptor doesn’t get activated due
to its low-affinity for adenosine, only pathological circum-
stances where adenosine levels rise to the micromolar
concentrations activate the receptor. Thus the A2B-
receptor is involved in pathological processes and thereby
turns this receptor in a potential therapeutic target for
many pathological indications6. Recently, the relevance of
A2b in cancer progression has been elucidated as a pro-
tumorigenic factor. It promotes cancer progression in
many ways7. A2B antagonists are thus emerging as promis- Figure 1. Main structure, N-(pyrazin-2-yl)carboxamide, of the

A series of 104 ligands was designed based on the core MMY24-yeast strain which contains the human adenosine

yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (which will be further ad-
dressed as ligand 73), was adapted from the synthesis of
LAS10105713. Ligand 73 was obtained by the in-house
synthesized N-(6-chloro-5-(4-pyridinyl)pyrazine-2-
yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (which will be simply refered
to as chloropyrazine 1d) with Suzuki coupling of 4-
methoxyphenyl with a 50% yield. The synthesis of 1d
consists of a regio-selective iodination step followed by the
Stille coupling of 4-(tributylstannyl)pyridine. After the
amide formation with cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride, 1d
is formed. The same reactions have been performed using
different reagents for the varying R-groups to give rise to
the remaining 103 compounds.

values are calculated by the interpolation of the curve with y-
axis at 0.5
Interestingly, the R3 group seems to have the most specific
needs of all varying R-groups, since only a few ligands
show IC50 below 10.000 (Appendix I). An phenyl ring struc-
ture with a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) on the 4’ posi-
tion such as compound 95 and 100 results in lower IC50-
