Notes: 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) is an adenosine analog that acts as an agonist of adenosine receptors (Kis = 1,880, 6,660, and 3.5 nM for human adenosine subtypes A1, A2A, and A3, respectively).{33402} NECA is reported to act as a potent vasodilator and can inhibit platelet aggregation by increasing cAMP (EC50 = 3.1 µM).{29438,33401}
