Adenosine is a purine nucleoside base, which is the precursor of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and is utilized thoroughly throughout the entire body in general metabolism. Extracellular adenosine acts as a local modulator with a generally cytoprotective function in the body. Its effects on tissue protection and repair fall into four categories: increasing the ratio of oxygen supply to demand; protecting against ischaemic damage by cell conditioning; triggering anti-inflammatory responses; and the promotion of angiogenesis.
