Bioactivity | Regadenoson (CVT-3146) is a selective A2A adenosine receptor agonist and vasodilator that increases coronary blood flow, can be used in study of myocardial perfusion imaging. Regadenoson also increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in rodents, can be used to study increased delivery of drugs to the human CNS[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Regadenoson (0.1, 0.175, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5 µg/kg; p.i.v.; single) increases coronary blood flow (CBF) and decreases in mean coronary resistance in a dose-dependent manner, in awake dogs[1].Regadenoson (2.5 µg/kg; p.i.v.; single in 30 s) increases blood flow of coronary in awake dogs[1].Regadenoson (0.5 µg/kg; i.v.; single; 60 or 90 min after Temozolomide administration) promotes Temozolomide delivery to CNS of rats[2].
