ISAM-140 is a selective non-xanthinic adenosine A2B receptor antagonist. Discovered in 2016,[1] it has a Ki of 3.49 nM on the A2B receptor and >1000-fold selectivity with respect to the other three adenosine receptor subtypes. It has been shown to help the immune system to attack cancer cells in in vitro assays by rescuing T and NK cell proliferation, cytokine release, and TIL infiltration.[2]
