A2B antagonists with subnanomolar affinity and high selectivity were discovered. The most potent compounds were 1-ethyl-8-(4-(4-(4-trifluoromethylbenzyl)piperazine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl)xanthine (24, PSB-09120, Ki (human A2B) = 0.157 nM) and 8-(4-(4-(4-chlorobenzyl)piperazine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl)-1-propylxanthine (17, PSB-0788, Ki (human A2B) = 0.393 nM). Moreover, 8-(4-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl)-1-propylxanthine (35, PSB-603) was developed as an A2B-specific antagonist exhibiting a Ki value of 0.553 nM at the human A2B receptor and virtually no affinity for the human and rat A1 and A2A and the human A3 receptors up to a concentration of 10 μM. A tritiated form of the compound was prepared as a new radioligand and characterized in kinetic, saturation, and competition studies. It was shown to be a useful pharmacological tool for the selective labeling of human as well as rodent A2B receptors (KD human A2B 0.403 nM, mouse A2B 0.351 nM). %I ACS Publications
