P2X Receptor

The antagonist AZD9056 blocks P2X7 receptors with an IC50 of 11.2 nM in HEK-hP2X7 cell line, indicating a high selectivity of the antagonist for the P2X7 receptor. The P2X7-receptor antagonist AZD9056 has a clear inhibitory effect (IC50=1-3 μM) in mouse microglia BV2 cells. AZD9056 is an inhibitor of BCRP and weakly inhibits BCRP-mediated transport of methotrexate (IC50=92 μM).

Treatment with AZD9056 exerts pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. The upregulated expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), substance P (SP) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) which is induced by MIA in cartilage tissues is reversed by AZD9056.
