Adenosine is a ubiquitous, BBB-permeable endogenous autacoid that modulates various cellular physiological processes. It acts through four G protein-coupled receptors (A1, A2A, A2B, and A3) to influence neuronal activity, vascular function, platelet aggregation, and blood cell regulation. This ribonucleoside consists of adenine attached to a ribofuranose moiety.
