LUF6000

LUF6000 is an experimental drug which acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the adenosine A3 receptor. It has no effect on A3-mediated signalling by itself, but significantly enhances the effect of A3-selective agonists or partial agonists, and can even cause some adenosine A3 antagonists to produce agonist-like signalling. It has antiinflammatory effects in animal studies.
