Abstract:
2-Chloroadenosine is presumably a non-metabolizable analogue of adenosine; however, this compound induced an increase in the enzymatically measured nucleotide content of isolated rat hepatocytes. HPLC separation and spectral analysis of the peaks showed that this increase may be related to the formation of 2-chloro nucleotides and that the 2-chloro nucleotides appeared in the first minutes of the incubation period. These results demonstrate that 2-chloroadenosine may be metabolized by phosphorylation in rat liver cells.
