CF 101 (known generically as IB-MECA) is an anti-inflammatory drug for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Its novel mechanism of action relies on antagonism of adenoside A3 receptors.CF101 is supplied as an oral drug and has an excellent safety profile. It is also being considered for the treatment of other autoimmune-inflammatory disorders, such as Crohn's disease, psorasis and dry eye syndrome.
CF-101 is an adenoside A3 agonist for the treatment of a variety of autoimmune-inflammatory disorders, particularly rhematoid arthritis. In clinical trials, it was found to be safe, well tolerated and showed strong evidence of an anti-inflammatory effect in rheumatoid arthritis patients. In this trial, a statistically significant correlation was found between A(3)AR expression level and response to the drug, so A(3)AR expression may serve as a biopredictor of patient response.

Uses
Investigated for use/treatment in cancer/tumors (unspecified), eye disorders/infections, psoriasis and psoriatic disorders, and rheumatoid arthritis. Can-Fite BioPharma has reported that by targeting the adenosine A3-receptor, CF101 may also be used to treat Crohn's disease, a serious gastrointestinal disorder.
How Piclidenoson works
CF 101 is an A(3)AR agonist. A(3)AR is highly expressed in inflammatory cells and overexpressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, reflecting its role in the remote inflammatory process. In normal tissues, there is low adenoside A3 receptor expression. A(3)AR activation with a specific agonist deregulates the NF-kappaB signaling pathway in inflammatory cells and initiates immunomodulatory effects.
