“…RO-5 also inhibits native presynaptic P2X3Rs and P2X2/3Rs (Kaan et al, 2010). 1-Methyl-3-phenyl-1H-thieno[2,3-c]pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid [(R)-2-(4-acetylpiperazin-1-yl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-amide (RO-85) has demonstrated selectivity for P2X3Rs (IC 50 ϭ 30 nM) over heteromeric P2X2/3Rs (IC 50 ϭ 400 nM) and other P2XRs (IC 50 Ͼ 10 M), indicating the pharmacological possibility to distinguish between homomeric and heteromeric P2X3Rs (Brotherton-Pleiss et al, 2010). Finally, AF-353 inhibits hP2X3R (IC 50 , 10 nM), rP2X3R (IC 50 , 10 nM), and hP2X2/3R (IC 50 , 38 nM) at low nanomolar concentrations .…”
