A cell-permeable, potent, and selective human A3 adenosine receptor antagonist (Ki = 0.66 μM) and an aurora kinase inhibitor (IC₅₀'s of 30-550 nM for blast colony formation assay). Induces dedifferentiation in murine C2C12 myoblasts.  The cells were also shown to regain multipluripotency following removal of the compound.
