What is Piclidenoson?

Piclidenoson is an orally bioavailable adenosine A3 receptor agonist that binds and activates the G protein-coupled A3 receptor on the cell surface. Activation of this receptor inhibits NF-kB signaling and the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF and several interleukins. It is studied in plaque psoriasis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca and rheumatoid arthritis.
