This book traces the history of adenosine receptor research from
molecular biology to medicinal chemistry to behavior, including their
implications in disease and potential strategies as therapeutic targets.
It provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the adenosine
receptors that includes information on all subtypes - A1,
A2A, A2B and A3. Aspects addressed
include the most up to date information on their functional distribution
in the nervous and peripheral systems, behavioral roles in inflammation,
