title: Behavioural effects of selective A2 adenosine receptor antagonists, CGS 21197 and CGS 22706, in mice.
abstract: The present data show that selective A2 adenosine receptor antagonists tended to increase locomotor and rearing activities in mice confronted with a free exploratory test. These findings support the hypothesis that the behavioural effects of adenosine antagonists can be linked to their actions at adenosine A2 receptors.
