Prototypic P2X7 receptor agonist (EC50 = 3.6, 7 and 285 µM at rat, human and mouse receptors respectively). 5-10 times more potent than ATP at activating P2X7 receptors. Additionally shows activity at other P2 receptor (pEC50 values are 8.7, 7.1 and 6.1 at P2X1, P2X3, P2X2/3 respectively).
Also acts as an ATPase photoaffinity label. Evokes intracellular Yo-Pro-1 (Oxazole Yellow) accumulation.
