K iL (expressed as mean ± S.E.M.) values were determined from the IC50 of the agonist in competition with125I-ZM241285 on A2A receptors expressed in Sf9 cells. High-affinity K iH values were determined from the IC50 of the drug in competition with [125I]APE on A2A receptors expressed with heterotrimeric G proteins (αs42) in Sf9 cells.
