“…Over the last years, our research group synthesized several cIDPR analogues [30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. In particular, the pyrophosphate (cpIDP, 3 , Figure 1) [30] and the monophosphate (cpIMP, 4 , Figure 1) [36] derivatives with a pentyl chain replacing the “northern” ribose showed interesting Ca 2+ -releasing activities in PC12 cells differentiated in neurons with the use of nerve growth factor (NGF) [18]. Meanwhile, the pyrophosphate derivative with a butyl chain in the place of the “northern” ribose was inactive on the same cell line [37].…”
