The present study was designed to characterize and
compare the vascular effects of adenosine and its analogs in the murine heart and aorta. Mouse hearts perfused under constant pressure in
standard Langendorff fashion demonstrated concentration-dependent increases in coronary flow to adenosine, 2-chloradenosine (CAD), 5'-(N-ethyl-carboxamido)-adenosine (NECA), and
2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5'-N-ethylcarboxam-idoadenosine (CGS-21680). All agonists produced comparable increases in coronary flow with the following order of potency: CGS-21680 = NECA
CAD
adenosine. In l-phenylephrine hydrochloride
(phenylephrine) precontracted aortic rings, all nonselective agonists
(NECA, CAD, and adenosine) produced marked concentration-dependent
relaxation, whereas the adenosine A2A selective agonist
CGS-21680 did not. Adenosine receptor agonists were >100 times more
potent for coronary vasodilation than aortic vasorelaxation. The
selective A2A receptor antagonist
5-amino-7-(
-phenylethyl)-2-(8-furyl)pyrazolo-[4,3-e]-1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-c]pyrimidine (SCH-58261) blocked both CGS-21680- and NECA-induced increases in
coronary flow, whereas the A2B receptor antagonist
benzo[g]pteridine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (alloxazine) inhibited
NECA-induced aortic relaxation. These data indicate a differential
response to adenosine agonists in murine coronary vasculature and aorta
where coronary vasodilation is mediated predominantly by activation of
A2A adenosine receptors.
