ZM 241385 is a potent, selective adenosine A2A receptor inverse agonist (Ki values are <1, 50, 255 nM and >10 µM at A2A, A2B, A1 and A3 receptors respectively).
The crystal structure of the human A2A receptor was determined in complex with ZM 241385.
Activation of the A2A receptor enhances the release of glutamate, dopamine and acetylcholine and also inhibits GABA release.
The A2AR has been shown to interact with various receptors including the mGlu5, D2R, A1R and CB1 receptors.
A2A receptor activation modulates synaptic plasticity and neuronal excitability.
ZM 241385 is active in vivo.
