IB-MECA（Cat No.:I001908）is a potent and selective agonist of the A3 adenosine receptor, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. It has been extensively studied for its potential therapeutic applications in various medical conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammatory disorders. By activating the A3 receptor, IB-MECA exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects, promoting apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibiting angiogenesis. Its specificity for the A3 receptor over other adenosine receptors enhances its therapeutic potential while minimizing side effects. IB-MECA continues to be a valuable tool in pharmacological research targeting adenosine receptor signaling pathways.
