Synonyms: AB-928
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: AB928 is an oral dual antagonist of the adenosine 2A and 2B receptor isoforms [4]. It was developed to counteract adenosine-mediated immune suppression in the tumour microenvironment by targeting A2AR-expressing T and NK cells and A2A/2BR-expressing myeloid cells.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
The A2AR is recognised as a immune checkpoint with immunosuppressive function, and the adenosine/A2AR pathway is exploited by some cancers to suppress antitumour immunity. Antagonism of receptor activation aims to restore the anticancer functions of the immune cell subsets that are sensitive to adenosine. A2BR stimulation also induces immunosuppressive effects via dendritic cell-driven T helper cell 1 (Th1) responses and promotion of T cell > T regulatory phenotype transition [2-3]. |
