In this study, we determined the crystal structure of an engineered human adenosine A2A receptor bound to a partial agonist and compared it to structures cocrystallized with either a full agonist or an antagonist/inverse agonist. The interaction between the partial agonist, belonging to a class of dicyanopyridines, and amino acids in the ligand binding pocket inspired us to develop a small library of derivatives and assess their affinity in radioligand binding studies and potency and intrinsic activity in a functional, label-free, intact cell assay. It appeared that some of the derivatives retained the partial agonist profile, whereas other ligands turned into inverse agonists. We rationalized this remarkable behavior with additional computational docking studies.

The base catalyzed dimerizing condensation of (α-methylthioalkylidene)propanedinitriles (e.g. 8) yields 2-aminobenzene-1,3-dicarbonitriles (e.g. 13), of (α-methylthioalkylidene)cyanamides (e.g. 14) 2-aminopyrimidines (e.g. 16, 37). The mixed condensation
