Abacavir Increases Purinergic P2X7 Receptor Activation by ATP: Does a Pro-inflammatory Synergism Underlie Its Cardiovascular Toxicity?
The cardiovascular toxicity of Abacavir is related to its purinergic structure. Purinergic P2X7-receptors (P2X7R), characterized by activation by high concentrations of ATP and with high plasticity, seem implicated. We appraise the nature of the interplay between Abacavir and P2X7R in generating vas...
