As of 2026-09-12

Adenosine receptor A2a shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Parkinson disease. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 7 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P29274. Start with Parkinson disease, then reuse UniProt P29274 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
Parkinson disease

Adenosine receptor A2a shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Parkinson disease. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 7 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with Parkinson disease because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include CIFORADENANT, ISTRADEFYLLINE, PBF-509, PRELADENANT. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
