Summary
Interspecies differences in glycosidation potential in mammalian tissues represent a factor contributing to ambiguity when endobiotic and/or xenobiotic metabolic pathways are extrapolated from animals to man. Using the TLC/autoradiographic technique, we conducted an in vitro investigation involving mouse, rat, monkey, as well as human liver and kidney microsomes to evaluate their glycoconjugation potential towards 3H-labeled, purine-derived selective inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases such as olomoucine, bohemine, roscovitine, 6-(2-hydroxybenzyl)amino-2-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpropyl)amino-9-isopropylpurine (compound A-4), and 6-(3-hydroxybenzyl)amino-2-[(1(R/S)-hydroxymethyl)propyl]amino-9-isopropylpurine (compound A-5) as aglycones. Principally, this study confirmed the aliphatic hydroxyl group of olomoucine-type inhibitors as a relatively suitable target for glucuronide, glucoside, xyloside, galactoside, and/or N-acetylaminoglucoside conjugation. Of the tissues examined, only the mouse microsomes were able to perform glucosidation and galactosidation reactions with the aglycones. On the other hand, monkey microsomes were superior to the mouse microsomes in a variety of glucuronide conjugates produced with compounds A-4 and A-5.
