Abstract: Adenosine A2A receptor agonists for the local treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBS) were designed and synthesized. Polar groups were introduced to prevent peroral absorption and subsequent systemic, e.g., hypotensive, side effects. 4-(2-{6-Amino-9-[(2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]-9H-purin-2-ylthio}ethyl)benzenesulfonic acid (7, PSB-0777) was selected for further evaluation in rat ileum/jejunum preparations in ex vivo experiments. Compound 7 significantly improved impaired acetylcholine-induced contractions induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and showed synergism with an A2B-selective antagonist. Thus, nonabsorbable, locally active A2A agonists, as a monotherapy or in combination with an A2B antagonist, may be an efficient novel treatment for IBS, preventing the severe systemic side effects of known A2A agonists.
