8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine
8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine (CSC) is an adenosine antagonist with selective activity at the A2a adenosine receptor. 8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine showed 520-fold selectivity in radioligand binding experiments in rat brain. Antagonism of adenylylase by 8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine shows 22-fold selectivity in rat chromaffin cells When 8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine is co-administered with the A1-selective antagonist CPX, It can also further increase exercise activity. 8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine exhibits good MAO-B inhibitory activity in primate mitochondria. 8- (3-Chlorostyryl) caffeine also has excellent A2A receptor affinity[1].
