    Abstract:
    The clearance and metabolism of N6-substituted (N6-dimethyl-), C8-substituted (8-bromo-, 8-p-chlorophenylthio- (PCPT-)), and exocyclic oxygen substituted phosphorothioate diastereomers (cAMPS(Sp)) and cAMPS (Rp)) of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP, cAMP) has been studied in an isolated perfused rat kidney. The N6- and C8-substituted analogs of cyclic AMP (10-100 microM) were not cleared as rapidly as exogenous cyclic AMP and were metabolized: N6- and C8-substituted analogs of adenosine accumulated in perfusate and urine. All analogs exhibited net transtubular secretion, i.e. their urinary excretion rate greater than glomerular filtration rate. Probenecid (0.9 mM) included in the perfusate abolished transtubular secretion and inhibited the metabolism of PCPT-cyclic AMP, suggesting that cyclic AMP analogs, like cyclic AMP itself, penetrate the renal cell at the peritubular membrane by an organic acid transport system. The phosphorothioate diastereomers of cyclic AMP: cAMPS(Sp) and cAMPS(Rp) were cleared as rapidly from the perfusate as cyclic AMP, were extensively secreted (urinary excretion/ glomerular filtration greater than or equal to 10) and exhibited no metabolism. The latter analog would seem most suitable as an intracellular agonist for cyclic AMP-mediated phenomena in the rat kidney.
