Naturally occurring N(6)-substituted adenosines (cytokinin ribosides) are in vitro inhibitors of platelet aggregation: an in silico evaluation of their interaction with the P2Y(12) receptor.

A few naturally occurring N(6)-substituted adenosine derivatives (cytokinin ribosides) were investigated as inhibitors of platelet aggregation induced in vitro by collagen and their activity range was demonstrated (IC50: 6.77-141 μM). A docking study suggests that anti-aggregation activity of these compounds could involve an interaction with the P2Y12 receptor binding site.
