Adenosine, 2-chloroAdenosine (stable Adenosine analogue), and erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl) adenine (EHNA; increases endogenous Adenosine by inhibiting Adenosine deaminase and thus reducing the metabolism of Adenosine to inosine) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). N6-cyclopentylAdenosine (CPA; selective A1 receptor agonist), CGS21680 (selective A2A receptor agonist), 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX; selective A1 receptor antagonist), 5-iodotubercidin (IDO; increases endogenous Adenosine by inhibiting Adenosine kinase and thus reducing the metabolism of Adenosine to 5’-AMP), 5’-N-ethylcarboxamidoAdenosine (NECA; non-selective Adenosine receptor agonist), 5’-N-methylcarboxamidoAdenosine (MECA; non-selective Adenosine receptor agonist), 1-deoxy-1-[6-[[(3-iodophenyl)methyl]amino]-9H-purin-9-yl]-N-methyl-β-D-ribofuranuronamide (IB-MECA; selective A3 receptor agonist), SCH442416 (selective A2A receptor antagonist), MRS1754 (selective A2B receptor antagonist), VUF5574 (selective A3 receptor antagonist) were purchased from Tocris (Minneapolis, MN). 3H-thymidine (specific activity, 11.8 Ci/mmol) was purchased from PerkinElmer NEN (Walthan, MA). All other reagents were of tissue culture or best grade available.

(R)-(+)-[2,3-Dihydro-5-methyl-3-(4-morpholinylmethyl)pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazin-6-yl]-1-naphthalenylmethanone mesylate (WIN55212-2), 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), N-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (AM251), rolipram, and forskolin were purchased from Tocris (Bristol, UK). Adenosine deaminase was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Stock solutions of WIN55212-2 (20 mM), rolipram (20 mM), DPCPX (50 μM), and AM251 (5 mM) were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). forskolin (50 mM) and CPA (2 mM) stock solutions were prepared in ethanol and water, respectively. Suitable dilutions of each stock solution with Krebs buffer were made before performing the experiments.

d-Amphetamine hemisulfate salt (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, USA) and MK-801 (dizocilpine, Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) were dissolved in physiological saline and administered at doses of 1 mg/kg sc, and 0.3 mg/kg ip, respectively. 5′-Chloro-5′-deoxy-N6-( ±)-(endo-norborn-2-yl)adenosine (5′-Cl-5′-deoxy-ENBA, Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) was dissolved in 0.5% DMSO in physiological saline and administered at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg ip 30 min before amphetamine or MK-801. 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, a selective antagonist of adenosine A1 receptors (DPCPX, Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) [16 (link)] was dissolved in 10% DMSO in physiological saline and administered at doses of 1 or 2 mg/kg ip 10 min before 5′-Cl-5′-deoxy-ENBA (40 min before amphetamine or MK-801). Physiological saline was used as the control for amphetamine and MK-801, 0.5% DMSO for 5′-Cl-5′-deoxy-ENBA and 10% DMSO for DPCPX (Fig. 1).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
