N6-Cyclohexyladenosine
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
N6-Cyclohexyladenosine is a selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist (EC50 = 8.2 nM). N6-Cyclohexyladenosine enhances the activation of the PI3K/Akt/CREB/BDNF axis. N6-Cyclohexyladenosine promotes remyelination, induces sleep, and improves 3-NP-induced Huntington's disease. N6-Cyclohexyladenosine can be used in liver cancer research.

N6-Cyclohexyladenosine reduces the extent of demyelination and promote remyelination in rat optic chiasm[1].
N6-Cyclohexyladenosine (10 nM-50 μM; 20 h) significantly increases the secretion of Erythropoietin in human hepatoma cell line Hep 3B under hypoxic conditions[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
N6-Cyclohexyladenosine (10-100 μM; infused into the basal forebrain via a microdialysis probe) can induce sleep in a rat model of basal forebrain cholinergic neuron injury [2].
N6-Cyclohexyladenosine (60 μg/kg; i.p.) is a potent locomotor depressant in mice[3].
N6-Cyclohexyladenosine (6.25 nM/1 μL; intrastriatal injection; single) attenuates neuronal death and improves cognitive and motor deficits in a rat model of Huntington's disease induced by 3-NP[6].
N6-Cyclohexyladenosine (1.5 mg/kg induction dose, followed by three 1.0 mg/kg doses every 6 hours for a total of 4 doses; i.p.; 4 times) does not show neuroprotective effects in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), failing to reduce infarct volume and improve neurological function[7].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.16 mM); Clear solution
