Vasodepressor Effect of Adenosine Phosphates and 5′-Adenylmethylene-diphosphonic Acid, an Analogue of Adenosine Triphosphate

Abstract

MEMBERS of the adenosine, adenosine monophosphate, adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate series produce a marked vasodepressor effect in the cat anæsthetized with nembutal. In this series, as the number of phosphate groups in the 5′ position is increased, the vasodepressor effect is also increased1.
