SCH-58261 is adrug which acts as apotent and selectiveantagonist for theadenosinereceptorA2A, with more than 50x selectivity for A2A over otheradenosine receptors.[1] It has been used to investigate the mechanism of action ofcaffeine, which is a mixedA1 / A2A antagonist, and has shown that the A2A receptor is primarily responsible for thestimulant andergogenic effects of caffeine,[2] but blockade of both A1 and A2A receptors is required to accurately replicate caffeine's effects in animals.[3][4][5][6] SCH-58261 has also shownantidepressant,[7]nootropic andneuroprotective effects in a variety of animal models,[8][9][10][11][12][13] and has been investigated as a possible treatment forParkinson's disease.[14][15]
