8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX, PD-116,948) is a drug which acts as a potent and selective antagonist for the adenosine A₁ receptor.^[1]^[2] It has high selectivity for A₁ over other adenosine receptor subtypes, but as with other xanthine derivatives DPCPX also acts as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, and is almost as potent as rolipram at inhibiting PDE4.^[3] It has been used to study the function of the adenosine A₁ receptor in animals,^[4]^[5] which has been found to be involved in several important functions such as regulation of breathing^[6] and activity in various regions of the brain,^[7]^[8] and DPCPX has also been shown to produce behavioural effects such as increasing the hallucinogen-appropriate responding produced by the 5-HT_2A agonist DOI,^[9] and the dopamine release induced by MDMA,^[10] as well as having interactions with a range of anticonvulsant drugs.^[11]^[12]
