“We conclude that metabolic stress and AICA riboside both stimulate AMPK activity in mammalian brain, but that AICA riboside has an additional effect, i.e. competition with adenosine for uptake by the nucleoside transporter.”

“BACKGROUND Acadesine is an adenosine-regulating agent that increases bioavailability of adenosine and has important metabolic effects, partly through activation of the key metabolic regulatory enzyme, AMP-activated protein kinase.”

“The purpose of this study was to determine whether acadesine increases interstitial fluid adenosine levels and attenuates myocardial stunning or potentiates the effects of adenosine in the intact pig.”

“Administration of adenosine also augmented coronary hyperemic flow and increased FS to the levels of the AICA riboside group.”
“During reperfusion, … with AICA riboside … adenosine concentration in the coronary venous blood (536+/-44 vs. 281+/-21 pmol/ml at 3 min of reperfusion, p<0.001) and … hyperemic flow (367+/-13 vs. 300+/-21 ml/100 g per min, p<0.001) when compared with the untreated group.”
“Inhibition of adhesion by adenosine was prevented by the A2 antagonist, DMPX (100 nM), and mimicked by the A2 agonist, CGS-21680 (10 nM) or the adenosine regulating agents, acadesine (100 microM) or GP531 (10 microM).”

“The enhanced adenosine caused by acadesine treatment is directly protective to cardiomyocytes, inhibits aggregation of platelets, is anti-inflammatory and enhances local blood flow by causing smooth muscle vasodilation.”
