The ability of quail and trout to perform a number of representative phase 1 and phase 2 biotransformations was examined. To facilitate interspecies comparisons, metabolism of the same substrates was examined simultaneously under uniform conditions for rat, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, cat and dog. Both nonmammalian species metabolized 4 representative substrates of phase 1 mixed-function oxidases and 1 substrate of epoxide hydrolase, although activity tended to be lower than that of the mammals. Important differences in the conjugative pathways were also noted. Among these differences were the quail''s relative deficiency in glutathione conjugation and the trout''s low ability to conjugate sulfate compounds. Trout liver UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity was remarkably high toward testosterone and bilirubin, while quail liver formed glucuronides of naphthol, p-nitrophenol and digitoxigenin-monodigitoxoside. Also noteworthy was the high N-acetyltransferase activity of quail and trout toward isoniazid, .beta.-naphthylamine and 2-aminofluorene. Differences in substrate specificity for a given enzymatic pathway may have been an indication that multiple forms of drug metabolizing systems also occurred in these nonmammalian species. Observation of several hundred- or thousand-fold differences between species in their enzyme activities for certain substrates under uniform conditions reemphasized the need for caution in extrapolation of xenobiotic metabolism from 1 sp. to another.
