As of 2026-09-13

Adenosine receptor A3 shows late clinical disease relevance led by dry eye syndrome. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P0DMS8. Start with dry eye syndrome, then reuse UniProt P0DMS8 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
dry eye syndrome

Adenosine receptor A3 shows late clinical disease relevance led by dry eye syndrome. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with dry eye syndrome because it currently carries late clinical support. Linked drugs include PICLIDENOSON. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
