Methods for increasing extracellular adenosine and for stabilising mast cells.

摘要

Methods for increasing extracellular concentrations of adenosine for the prophylactic or affirmative treatment of diseases of the immune, nervous, cardiac, and vascular systems involving administering to a patient purine nucleoside and purine nucleoside-related analogs which increase extracellular adenosine concentrations, and methods for stabilizing mast cells by the suppression of mast cell activation using such compounds.
