Summary data for A2A agonist pharmacology, physicochemical properties, and antagonist reversal rate

pEC50 is derived from concentration-response curves using the GloSensor cAMP assay (Sample curves in Supplemental Fig. 2) measured at 20°C for 100 minutes. LogD7.4 and log KIAM are experimentally measured physicochemical properties used as indicators of, respectively, lipophilicity and membrane partitioning. Antagonist reversal t1/2 to estimated agonist off-rate was derived from normalized antagonist reversal curves (one-phase exponential decay) shown in Fig. 3. Curves were constrained to give a minimal response of “0” as incomplete reversal observed over the time-course. Accurate reversal t1/2 values were difficult to derive for THESE data, but we can say with confidence that t1/2 > 100 minutes. pEC50 values and reversal half-life estimates are an average of 3 or 4 experiments performed in triplicate.
