A broad screening of phytochemicals has demonstrated that certain flavone and flavonol derivatives have a relatively high affinity at A3 adenosine receptors, with Ki values of > or = 1 microM (Ji et al. J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 781-788). We have further modified the flavone structure to achieve a degree of selectivity for cloned human brain A3 receptors, determined in competitive binding assays versus [125I]AB-MECA[N6-(4-amino-3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-(N-methylur onamide)]. Affinity was determined in radioligand binding assays at rat brain A1 and A2a receptors using [3H]-N6-PIA ([3H]-(R)-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine) and [3H]CGS21680 [[3H]-2-[[4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenyl]ethylamino]-5'-(N-ethylcarbamoyl++ +)adenosine], respectively. The triethyl and tripropyl ether derivatives of the flavonol galangin, 4, had Ki values of 0.3 - 0.4 microM at human A3 receptors. The presence of a 5-hydroxyl group increased selectivity of flavonols for human A3 receptors. The 2',3,4',7-tetraethyl ether derivative of the flavonol morin, 7, displayed a Ki value of 4.8 microM at human A3 receptors and was inactive at rat A1/A2a receptors. 3,6-Dichloro-2'-(isopropyloxy)-4'-methylflavone, 11e, was both potent and highly selective (approximately 200-fold) for human A3 receptors (Ki = 0.56 microM). Among dihydroflavonol analogues, the 2-styryl instead of the 2-aryl substituent, in 15, afforded selectivity for human A3 vs rat A1 or A2A receptors. The 2-styryl-6-propoxy derivative, 20, of the furanochromone visnagin was 30-fold selective for human A3 receptors vs either rat A1 or A2A receptors. Several of the more potent derivatives effectively antagonized the effects of an agonist in a functional A3 receptor assay, i.e. inhibition of adenylyl cyclase in CHO cells expressing cloned rat A3 receptors. In conclusion, these series of flavonoids provide leads for the development of novel potent and subtype selective A3 antagonists.
