Abstract
Allosteric enhancers at the adenosine A1 receptor have received attention as anti-arrhythmic cardiac agents, and, more recently, as anti-lipolytic agents. In addition, allosteric modulators at the adenosine A1 receptor have therapeutic potential as analgesics and neuroprotective agents. In particular, the compounds with improved potency as enhancers and reduced antagonist properties are mentioned.

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
