Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the Central Nervous System (CNS) causing demyelination and neuroaxonal degeneration. Research has shown that many signaling pathways are dysfunctional in MS and contributes to its development and progression. In this regard, adenosine (ADO) is a molecule largely involved in cell communication and has a prominent role in the modulation of CNS physiology, immunity and behavior. ADO is generated by the action of CD39 and CD73, enzymes that converts ATP/ADP to AMP and subsequently to ADO, respectively. Once generated, ADO can bind to four different purinergic (P1) receptors: adenosine A1 receptor (A1R), adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), adenosineA2B receptor (A2BR) and adenosine A3 receptor (A3R).
