CGS 21680 is a potent, selective agonist of the adenosine A2A receptor (Ki = 11-46 nM).1,2 It is less effective at adenosine A1 and A3 receptors (Kis = 0.5-3.1 and 0.6-1 µM, respectively) and is without effect at adenosine A2B (Ki > 10 µM).2,3,4,5 CGS 21680 is commonly used to study the actions of the adenosine A2A receptor in cells and tissues.6,7,8
