Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Istradefylline is a potent and selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist with a Ki value of 2.2 nM.[1] Oral administration of istradefylline protects against the loss of nigral dopaminergic neuronal cells induced by 6-hydroxydopamine in rats. In addition, istradefylline treatment also prevents the functional loss of dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum and the ensuing gliosis caused by MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) in mice.[2] In vivo, istradefylline working with L-DOPA or with selective D1 or D2 dopamine agonists increases antiparkinsonian activity but not dyskinesia in MPTP-treated monkeys.[3]

Protocols

In vivo: Prior to use, istradefylline is suspended in 0.3% Tween-80 and 10% sucrose solution.[4]
