YZG-331, also known as N6-[(S)-1-(phenyl)propyl]adenosine, is an adenosine receptor agonist which is or was under investigation for the potential treatment of insomnia.[1][2][3]

Pharmacology

The drug appears to act through the adenosine A1 and A2A receptors.[3] It produces sedative and hypnotic effects and hypolocomotion in animals.[3] The drug is orally active and crosses the blood–brain barrier, although its intestinal absorption and central permeability may be reduced by its P-glycoprotein substrate activity.[4][5] It is a synthetic derivative of adenosine and of N6-(4-hydroxybenzyl)adenine riboside (NHBA).[5][3] The latter compound is found in the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Gastrodia elata.[5][3]

Development

YZG-331 was first described in the scientific literature by at least 2014.[6] As of 2025, it has reached the preclinical research stage of development.[1]
