This study compares the renal actions of the A2 selective adenosine agonist, CGS 21680A, with the A1 selective adenosine agonist, N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), and the nonselective agonist, 5'-N-ethylcarboxamide adenosine (NECA), in the anesthetized dog. Initial receptor binding studies in dog brain demonstrated that CPA and CGS 21680A were selective for the A1 and A2 adenosine receptor, respectively, whereas NECA displayed slightly greater affinity for A1 than A2 adenosine receptors in the canine brain. Intravenous infusion of CGS 21680A (0.25 and 2.5 micrograms/kg/min) decreased blood pressure (BP) and increased heart rate (HR). CGS 21680A transiently increased renal blood flow (RBF) and either did not change or, at the highest dose infused, decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Both urine volume (UV) and urinary sodium excretion (UNaV) also were decreased by CGS 21680A. At the lowest infusion rate (0.025 micrograms/kg/min) CGS 21680A produced a slowly developing increase in RBF, no change in GFR and a significant decrease in sodium excretion. Intravenous infusion of CPA (15 micrograms/kg/min) lowered BP and HR RBF and GFR. UNaV, UV and renin release also were inhibited by CPA. At a lower infusion rate (2.5 micrograms/kg/min), CPA markedly inhibited UNaV in the absence of a significant change in either BP or renal hemodynamic parameters. Infusion of NECA (0.01 and 0.1 micrograms/kg/min) lowered BP but did not change HR. Furthermore, RBF was increased by NECA, whereas UV and UNaV were inhibited in the absence of a change in GFR. These results may be explained by the relative selectivity of each analog for A1 or A2 adenosine receptors.
