Abstract
A3 adenosine receptors (ARs) have long been viewed as potential therapeutic targets due to their association with a variety of pathophysiological processes. Development of potent and selective A3AR nucleoside ligands has been an area of interest of medicinal chemists since last two decades. Various prime modifications made on N6 and C-2 position of the adenosine moiety has led to the discovery of some of the most efficacious A3AR ligands. This review is an account of the development of 4'-thionucleosides as A3AR agonists and antagonists by various chemical modifications on the thionucleoside template.
Keywords: A3 adenosine receptor, agonist, antagonist, 4’-thionucleoside, structure-activity relationship.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
