Bioactivity | MRS1220, a highly potent and selective human A3 adenosine receptor (hA3AR) antagonist with a Ki of 0.59 nM, has therapeutic potential for the research of diseases of the central nervous system[1]. MRS1220 reduces glioblastoma tumor size and blood vessel formation in vivo[2]. |
Invitro | MRS 1220 reverses the effect of A3 agonist-elicited inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α formation in the human macrophage U-937 cell line with an IC50 of 0.3 μM[1].VEGF secretion in U87MG glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) decreases ~25% with MRS1220 after 72 h of hypoxia[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | MRS1220 (0.15 mg/kg; intraperitoneal inoculation) reduces tumor size and blood vessel formation in vivo. MRS1220 exhibits a strong in vivo anti-angiogenic effect[2]. Animal Model: |
