Abstract

A stability study of adenosine receptor agonists in rat and human whole blood was performed. The compounds were incubated at 37 degrees in fresh blood, and aliquots of the incubation mixture were hemolyzed at regular time intervals and analyzed with HPLC. N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA) and N6-cyclobutyladenosine (CBA) were degraded, whereas N6-cyclohexyladenosine, N6-cycloheptyladenosine and N6-sulfophenyladenosine were not. 2-Chloroadenosine had a half-life very similar to that of CPA. However, the 2'-, 3'-, and 5'-deoxyribose derivatives of CPA remained intact. The nucleoside transport inhibitor nitrobenzylthioinosine attenuated CBA and CPA metabolism in rat blood as did the inhibitor of adenosine deaminase erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine, albeit at relatively high concentrations. Complete blockade of CBA and CPA degradation was achieved by a preincubation of rat and human blood with the adenosine kinase (AK) inhibitor 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine. We conclude that the two adenosine analogues are metabolized by AK both in rat and in human whole blood.
