P2X3 Receptor Agonist

BzATP triethylammonium salt acts as a P2X receptor agonist with pEC₅₀s of 8.74, 5.26, 7.10, 7.50, 6.19, 6.31, 5.33 for P2X1, P2X2, P2X3, P2X2/3, P2X4 and P2X7, respectively. BzATP triethylammonium salt is potent at P2X7 receptors with EC₅₀s of 3.6 μM and 285 μM for rat P2X7 and mouse P2X7, respectively.

α,β-Methylene-ATP trisodium is an agonist of P2X1 and P2X3 receptors and can cross the blood-brain barrier. α,β-Methylene-ATP trisodium can trigger a reflex pressor response by activating P2X receptors in peripheral muscles and the central locus coeruleus (LC); this effect can be blocked by the P2X antagonist PPADS (HY-108960). α,β-Methylene-ATP trisodium also activates noradrenergic neurons in the central locus coeruleus, mediating antinociceptive effects; this effect can be attenuated by the locus coeruleus damaging agent DSP-4 (HY-103210/HY-121602). α,β-Methylene-ATP trisodium can be used to study the pathological mechanisms of neuropathic pain, cardiovascular reflex regulation, and antinociceptive effects of the central nervous system.

α,β-Methylene-ATP dilithium is an agonist of P2X1 and P2X3 receptors and can cross the blood-brain barrier. α,β-Methylene-ATP dilithium can trigger a reflex pressor response by activating P2X receptors in peripheral muscles and the central locus coeruleus (LC); this effect can be blocked by the P2X antagonist PPADS (HY-108960). α,β-Methylene-ATP dilithium also activates noradrenergic neurons in the central locus coeruleus, mediating antinociceptive effects; this effect can be attenuated by the locus coeruleus damaging agent DSP-4 (HY-103210/HY-121602). α,β-Methylene-ATP dilithium can be used to study the pathological mechanisms of neuropathic pain, cardiovascular reflex regulation, and antinociceptive effects of the central nervous system.
