5′-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) is a nonselective adenosine receptor agonist.
After the administration of 5′-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), the mean number of cocaine infusions obtained per session is decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner [5′-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA): F(4,12)=14.9; P<0.001]. The administration of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) [F(4,12)=16.1; P<0.001] results in a significant increase in latencies above values obtained for vehicle treatment[1]. Daily i.p. injection of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) at 0.3 mg/kg/day for two weeks reduces malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in diabetic rats, but does not affect control rats. Daily treatment with NECA (0.3 mg/kg/day, i.p. for two weeks) reduces diabetes-induced gene expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-18 in diabetic rats, but does not affect control rats. Daily i.p. injection of 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) at 0.3 mg/kg/day for two weeks also blocks the activation of JNK MAPK in diabetic rats, but does not affect control rats[2].
