Purinergic Approaches in Experimental Therapeutics

Edited by Kenneth A. Jacobson and Michael F. Jarvis

The roles of extracellular purines and pyrimidines in cellularhomeostasis and disease etiology have come to be understoodgradually over the past 40 years. However, due to the recentcloning and expression of receptors for ATP and adenosine, novelcompounds have been developed with unique therapeutic potential forthe treatment of thrombosis, stroke, epilepsy, chronic pain,immunological disorders, and cancer. As a result, the study ofadenosin...
