Purinergic (P2Y) Receptors

P2Y receptor antagonists and agonists act on purinergic G protein-coupled receptors for extracellular nucleotides. The eight human P2Y receptors respond to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), uridine triphosphate (UTP) or related nucleotides. The first member, now called P2Y1, was cloned from chick brain in 1993 as a G protein-coupled ATP receptor. In 2001 the platelet ADP receptor P2Y12 was identified as the target of thienopyridine antithrombotic compounds. Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate and prasugrel are thienopyridine prodrugs, whereas ticagrelor, cangrelor and AZD1283 block P2Y12 without metabolic activation. BPTU is an allosteric P2Y1 antagonist, and MRS 2578 blocks P2Y6, a receptor activated by uridine diphosphate. Ligand-gated nucleotide channels are listed separately under the sibling category P2X Receptor.

    A62815

    ADP-β-S trilithium

    Synonyms: Adenosine 5'-β-thiodiphosphate (trilithium)

    ADP-β-S trilithium is the trilithium salt form of ADP-β-S, serving as a potent activator of the P2Y12 receptor. It facilitates the upregulation of IL-1β and IL-6 production in microglial cells, promotes NF-κB phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, and enhances NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This reagent is valuable for research into inflammatory responses and signaling pathways involving P2Y12 receptor activation.
