A series of new molecules containing a thieno[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidine scaffold was synthesized and characterized by adopting an efficient synthetic scheme. The effect of a free or substituted amino group at 2‐position as well as an oxo‐group, imidazole or 1,2,4‐triazole ring at 4‐position of the scaffold on the affinity and selectivity towards adenosine receptors ( AR s) was evaluated. Compounds 17–19 with a free amino group at 2‐position along with the presence of an imidazole/1,2,4‐triazole ring at 4‐position of the scaffold showed selective binding affinities for hA 2A AR , whereas carbamoylation of the amino group at 2‐position (in the presence of an oxo‐group at 4‐position of the scaffold) increased the affinity and selectivity of certain compounds ( 7–10 ) for hA 3 AR . Molecular dynamic simulation study of one of the most active compound 8 ( K i hA 1  > 30 μ m , hA 2A  = 0.65 μ m , and hA 3  = 0.124 μ m ) revealed the role of important amino acid residues for imparting good affinity towards hA 3 and hA 2A AR s. Molecular docking studies were carried out for other compounds using the crystal structure of hA 2A AR and a homology model of hA 3 AR to rationalize their structure–activity relationships. The molecular docking results were in agreement with the experimental binding affinity data of ARs.
