A series of adenosine-5鈥?N-alkylcarboxamides and N6-(2,2-diphenylethyl)adenosine-5鈥?N-alkylcarboxamides bearing antioxidant moieties in the 2-position were synthesized from the versatile intermediate, O6-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-2-fluoro-2鈥?3鈥?O-isopropylideneinosine-5鈥?N-alkylcarboxamide (1). These compounds were evaluated as A2A adenosine receptor (A2AR) agonists in a cAMP accumulation assay, and a number of potent and selective agonists were identified. Three of these compounds were evaluated further in an ischemic injury cell survival assay and a reactive oxygen species (ROS) production assay whereby 15b and 15c were shown to reduce ROS activity and cell death due to ischemia.
