KW-6002 is a selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist, offering a novel mechanistic approach for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). A2A blockade will increase in GABAergic inhibition on the medium-sized neurons, leading to a net decrease in excessive activation of striatopallidal output.
In vitro: The affinity of KW-6002 for the A2AR is 70-fold greater than that for the A1 receptor. The binding affinities (Ki) of KW-6002 for human A1 receptor and A2A receptor are >287 nM and 9.12 nM, respectively [1].
In vivo: In MPTP neurotoxin model of PD in mice, KW-6002 significantly attenuated striatal dopamine depletion under various conditions. In addition, pretreatment with KW-6002 (3.3 mg/kg, i.p.) before a single dose of MPTP attenuated the partial dopamine and DOPAC depletions 1 week later [2].
Clinical trial: In a clinical study, the authors evaluated the safety and efficacy of KW-6002 40 mg as monotherapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD) in 176 patients. The primary efficacy outcome was changed from baseline to endpoint, while safe and well-tolerated, failed to show a significant improvement from placebo for this endpoint [1].

Protocol
Binding experiment [1]:
Binding assays
Competition analysis of [3H]-ZM241385 and [3H]-DPCPX binding to caudate-putamen membranes from male Lister hooded rats. [3H]-ZM241385 and [3H]-DPCPX binding at 0.3–0.5 nM were assessed in the presence of 1 U/ml adenosine deaminase in a final assay volume of 0.25 ml.
Animal experiment [1]:
Animal models
Lister hooded rats
Dosage form
4 mg/kg KW6002 by intraperitoneal administration
Application
KW6002 has a role for tonic activation of A 2A adenosine receptors in reward-related phenomena. KW6002 increased dopamine overflow in the rat nucleus accumbens, and also elicited place preference and increased locomotor activity.
Other notes
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
