Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several studies that indicate that cancer development may be conditioned by the activation of some biological systems that involve the interaction of different biomolecules, such as adenosine and vascular endothelial growth factor. These biomolecules have been targeted of some drugs for treat of cancer; however, there is little information on the interaction of purine derivatives with adenosine and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF-R1). OBJECTIVE The aim of this research was to determine the possible interaction of purine (1: ) and their derivatives (2-31: ) with A1, A2-adenosine receptors, and VEGF-R1. METHODS Theoretical interaction of purine and their derivatives with A1, A2-adenosine receptors and VEGF-R1 was carried out using the 5uen, 5mzj and 3hng proteins as theoretical tools. Besides, adenosine, cgs-15943, rolofylline, cvt-124, wrc-0571, luf-5834, cvt-6883, AZD-4635, cabozantinib, pazopanib, regorafenib, and sorafenib drugs were used as controls. RESULTS The results showed differences in the number of aminoacid residues involved in the interaction of purine and their derivatives with 5uen, 5mzj and 3hng proteins compared with the controls. Besides, the inhibition constants (Ki) values for purine and their derivatives 5: , 9: , 10: , 14: , 15: , 16: , and 20: were lower compared with the controls CONCLUSIONS: Theoretical data suggest that purine and their derivatives 5: , 9: , 10: , 14: , 15: , 16: , and 20: could produce changes in cancer cell growth through inhibition of A1, A2-adenosine receptors and VEGFR-1 inhibition. These data indicate that these purine derivatives could be a therapeutic alternative to treat some types of cancer.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a group of neurodegenerative diseases that can cause irreversible blindness. The current medications, which mainly reduce intraocular pressure to slow the progression of disease, may have local and systemic side effects. Recently, medications with possible neuroprotective effects have attracted much attention. To assist in the identification of new glaucoma drugs, we created a glaucomatous chemogenomics database (GCDB; http://cadd.pharmacy.nankai.edu.cn/gcdb/home) in which various glaucoma-related chemogenomics data records are assembled, including 275 genes, 105 proteins, 83 approved or clinical trial drugs, 90 206 chemicals associated with 213 093 records of reported bioactivities from 22 324 corresponding bioassays and 5630 references. Moreover, an improved chemical similarity ensemble approach computational algorithm was incorporated in the GCDB to identify new targets and design new drugs. Further, we demonstrated the application of GCDB in a case study screening two chemical libraries, Maybridge and Specs, to identify interactions between small molecules and glaucoma-related proteins. Finally, six and four compounds were selected from the final hits for in vitro human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) and adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR) inhibitory assays, respectively. Of these compounds, six were shown to have inhibitory activities against hGR, with IC50 values ranging from 2.92-28.43 μM, whereas one compoundshowed inhibitory activity against A3AR, with an IC50 of 6.15 μM. Overall, GCDB will be helpful in target identification and glaucoma chemogenomics data exchange and sharing, and facilitate drug discovery for glaucoma treatment.

Abstract
Here we report novel thiazole-thiophene conjugates as adenosine receptor antagonists. All the molecules were evaluated for their binding affinity for adenosine receptors. Most of the molecules were found to interact with the A1, A2A and A3 adenosine receptor subtypes with good affinity values. The most potent and selective compound 8n showed an A3Ki value of 0.33μM with selectivity ratios of >90 versus the A1 and >30 versus the A2 subtypes. For compound 8n docking studies into the binding site of the A3 adenosine receptor are provided to visualize its binding mode.

Abstract
Adenosine is an ubiquitous local modulator that regulates various physiological and pathological functions by stimulating four membrane receptors, namely A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3). Among these G protein-coupled receptors, the A(3) subtype is found mainly in the lung, liver, heart, eyes, and brain in our body. It has been associated with cerebroprotection and cardioprotection, as well as modulation of cellular growth upon its selective activation. On the other hand, its inhibition by selective antagonists has been reported to be potentially useful in the treatment of pathological conditions including glaucoma, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. In this review, we focused on the pharmacology and the therapeutic implications of the human (h)A(3) adenosine receptor (AR), together with an overview on the progress of hA(3) AR agonists, antagonists, allosteric modulators, and radioligands, as well as on the recent advances pertaining to the computational approaches (e.g., quantitative structure-activity relationships, homology modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations) applied to the modeling of hA(3) AR and drug design.

Abstract
Now there is general agreement that the purine nucleoside adenosine is an important neuromodulator in the central nervous system, playing a crucial role in neuronal excitability and synaptic/non-synaptic transmission in the hippocampus and basal ganglia. Adenosine is derived from the breakdown of extra- or intracellular ATP and is released upon a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli from neuronal and non-neuronal sources, i.e. from glial cells and exerts effects diffusing far away from release sites. The resultant elevation of adenosine levels in the extracellular space reaches micromolar level, and leads to the activation A1, A2A, A2B and A3 receptors, localized to pre- and postsynaptic as well as extrasynaptic sites. Activation of presynaptic A1 receptors inhibits the release of the majority of transmitters including glutamate, acetylcholine, noradrenaline, 5-HT and dopamine, whilst the stimulation of A2A receptors facilitates the release of glutamate and acetylcholine and inhibits the release of GABA. These actions underlie modulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity and coordination of neural networks and provide intriguing target sites for pharmacological intervention in ischemia and Parkinson’s disease. However, despite that adenosine is also released during ischemia, A1 adenosine receptors do not participate in the modulation of excitotoxic glutamate release, which is nonsynaptic and is due to the reverse operation of transporters. Instead, extrasynaptic A1 receptors might be responsible for the neuroprotection afforded by A1 receptor activation.
