Positive allosteric mechanisms of adenosine A1 receptor-mediated analgesia
The adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) is a promising therapeutic target for non-opioid analgesic agents to treat neuropathic pain1,2. However, development of analgesic orthosteric A1R agonists has failed because of a l...

Open AccessStructural Basis for Binding of Allosteric Drug Leads in the Adenosine A1 Receptor
Despite intense interest in designing positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) as selective drugs of the adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR), structural binding modes of the receptor PAMs remain unknown. Using the first X-...

Structure of the adenosine-bound human adenosine A1 receptor–Gi complex
The class A adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that preferentially couples to inhibitory Gi/o heterotrimeric G proteins, has been implicated in numerous diseases, yet remains poorly targe...
