title: The synthesis of cyclonucleotides with fixed glycosidic bond linkages as putative agonists for P2-purinergic receptors.
abstract: Cyclonucleotides with fixed glycosidic bond linkages were investigated as possible ligands for purinoceptors in PC12 cells. P2Y2-purinoceptors were not activated by the ATP analogue, 8,2'-thioanhydroadenosine-5'-triphosphate (4) and only weakly by the UTP analogue, 2,2' -anhydrouridine-5'-triphosphate (6). However, both analogues were agonists for P2X2-purinoceptors although the potencies were approximately 30-fold less than that of the parent nucleotides.
