Summary of the compounds investigated in this study
All the ligands have an adenosine scaffold, with substitution on the ribose 4 position (R1), N6 (R2), and/or C2 (R3). Otsuka-3 is an exception, because it does not share this structural scaffold. The individual structures of each compound are shown in Supplemental Fig. 1.
