Before the experiment, the cells were digested with Versene solution. The cells were collected by centrifugation at 200 g and room temperature for 5 minutes using a centrifuge, and finally resuspended using the assay buffer (the assay buffer contained Hank's buffer saline aqueous solution, 1M HEPES, 7.5% BSA stabilizer, pH 7.4, 20 mM Rolipram). The compound was continuously diluted 3 times in a 384-well polypropylene microplate with DMSO through TECAN automated pipetting workstation to prepare compound source plates with 11 concentration points (10 mM, 3.33 mM, 1.11 mM, 0.37 mM, 0.12 mM, 0.041 mM, 0.013 mM, 4.57×10.sup.−3 mM, 1.52×10.sup.−3 mM, 5×10.sup.−4 mM and 1.7×10.sup.−4 mM). The test compound was transferred from the compound source plate to assay plate by Echo ultrasonic pipetting system (Labcyte), and the transfer volume of the compound was 10 nl/well. The hADORA.sub.2A-HEK293 cell suspension was diluted to 30,000 cells/ml with assay buffer (the assay buffer contained Hank's buffer saline aqueous solution, 1M HEPES, 20 mM Rolipram, 7.5% BSA stabilizer, pH 7.4), and then the cell suspension was transferred to the assay plate in a volume of 10 μl/well (300 cells/well). The assay plate was centrifuged at 150 g for 1 minute and pre-incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Eu-cAMP tracer working solution (including 40 μl of Eu-cAMP tracer, 1.96 ml of cAMP detection buffer) (5 μl/well) was added to the assay plate, and then Ulight-anti-cAMP working solution (13 μl of Ulight-anti-cAMP agent and 1.95 ml of cAMP detection buffer) (5 μl/well) was added to the assay plate. The assay plate was rotated at 150 g for 30 seconds and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. EnVison microplate reader (EnVision multimode plate reader, PerkinElmer) was used to determine the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the final solution (λ.sub.ex=320 nm, λ.sub.em=665 nm & 615 nm). The EC.sub.50 (nM) value that stimulated the production level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate when the test compound interacted with the A.sub.2A adenosine receptor was calculated. The A.sub.2A receptor agonist titer of the compound was expressed as the EC.sub.50 (nM) value that stimulated the production level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate when the compound interacted with the A.sub.2A adenosine receptor.
[0154] 3) Experimental Results:
[0155] When the test compound interacted with A.sub.2AAR, the EC.sub.50 (nM) value that stimulated the level of cyclic AMP was shown in Table 2. The results show that the compound of the present invention is shown to be an hA.sub.2AAR agonist. It is generally accepted in this field that cAMP EC.sub.50 value <10 μM indicates significant result, and cAMP EC.sub.50 value <1 μM indicates a strong agonistic activity.
