Caffeine keeps you awake by blocking adenosine receptors. Each type of adenosine receptor has different functions, although with some overlap. [3] For instance, both A 1 receptors and A 2A play roles in the heart, regulating myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary blood flow, while the A 2A receptor also has broader anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body.

The most probable mechanism for the delay of fatigue is through the obstruction of adenosine receptors in the central nervous system. [23] Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that decreases arousal and increases sleepiness. By preventing adenosine from acting, caffeine removes a factor that promotes rest, and delays fatigue.
CGS-15943 is a drug which acts as a potent and reasonably selective antagonist for the adenosine receptors A 1 and A 2A, having a K i of 3.3nM at A 2A and 21nM at A 1.It was one of the first adenosine receptor antagonists discovered that is not a xanthine derivative, instead being a triazoloquinazoline.
Adverse effects associated with adenosine administration are primarily due to its activation of adenosine receptors on vascular tissue, resulting in vasodilation. Side effects of adenosine include skin flushing, lightheadedness, nausea, sweating, nervousness, numbness, and a sense of impending doom. These effects are typically very short-lived ...

The actions of the A 2A receptor are complicated by the fact that a variety of functional heteromers composed of a mixture of A 2A subunits with subunits from other unrelated G-protein coupled receptors have been found in the brain, adding a further degree of complexity to the role of adenosine in modulation of neuronal activity.
Upregulation of receptors, on the other hand, can result in super-sensitized cells, especially after repeated exposure to an antagonistic drug or prolonged absence of the ligand. Some receptor agonists may cause downregulation of their respective receptors, while most receptor antagonists temporarily
These receptors enable the regulation of multiple processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, function, and death. [47] The activation of the adenosine A1 receptor is required for osteoclast differentiation and function, whereas the activation of the adenosine A2A receptor inhibits osteoclast function. The other three adenosine ...
