| Application: | Adenosine has been used: • as a supplement in embryonic type culture medium for in vitro osteogenic differentiation • for evaluation of its effect on cell survival by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2- • as a constituent in collagenase solution for the collagenase digestion of mice fat tissue. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Endogenous neurotransmitter at adenosine receptors. Cardioprotective effects may relate to activation of A1 adenosine receptors. The antiplatelet and anti−inflammatory actions of adenosine appear to be mediated via the A2 adenosine receptor. In contrast, adenosine appears to be a pro-inflammatory mediator in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). |

| General description: | In the extracellular space, ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73) dephosphorylates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to produce adenosine. Adenosine has four receptors namely A1R, A2AR A2BR and A3R. Adenosine plays a key role in the osteogenic differentiation. A1R induces osteoclast differentiation and A2AR induces osteoblast differentiation. |
