It has been previously proposed that adenosine plays an impor-tant role in the pathogenesis of asthma. The proposedmechanism of action for nucleoside adenosine is to activate A2B adenosine receptors (AR) and to indirectly modulate levels of mediators in the lung. In vivo data supporting the role of A2B AR in airway reactivity and inflammation in allergic animal models are lacking. The present study describes the effects of a selective A2B AR antag-onist, CVT-6883 [3-ethyl-1-propyl-8-[1-(3-trifluoromethylbenzyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione], on airway reactiv-ity and inflammation in an allergic mouse model of asthma. Mice were sensitized with ragweed (i.p.) on days 1 and 6 and chal-lenged with 0.5 % ragweed on days 11, 12, a...
