8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dimethylxanthine (CPT) is an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist (Ki = 10.9 nM).{48947} It is selective for adenosine A1 over A2 receptors (Ki = 1,440 nM). CPT inhibits hypoxia-induced depression of evoked synaptic potentials in rat hippocampal slices in a concentration-dependent manner.{48948} It increases secondary after-discharge duration in electrically induced seizures in rats when administered at doses of 2.5 mg/kg or higher.{48949} CPT increases the response rate under a fixed-interval schedule of stimulus-shock termination in squirrel monkeys (ED50 = 2.5 μmol/kg), indicating psychomotor stimulant effects.{48950}
