Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside approved for the rapid conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to normal sinus rhythm. It acts on adenosine receptors to inhibit conduction through the atrioventricular node and is used primarily in acute cardiac care settings. Adenosine is approved and widely used today as an intravenous antiarrhythmic agent.
Pharmacokinetic model reported in healthy adult subjects; most data from intravenous administration due to extremely low oral bioavailability.
