This study deals with individual and species variations in the converting activity of methotrexate (MTX) to 7-hydroxymethotrexate in animals and humans. When MTX 7-hydroxylase was assayed in six human liver cytosols, a 48-fold range of intersubject variation of the activity was observed. The variations were correlated to the concentrations of aldehyde oxidase activity in human subjects assayed with benzaldehyde as a substrate. Species differences of liver MTX 7-hydroxylase activity were also observed. The activity was highest in rabbits, followed by rats, hamsters, and monkeys but was undetectable in dogs. Strain differences of MTX 7-hydroxylase activity based on aldehyde oxidase activity were also observed in rats and mice. The results suggest that aldehyde oxidase functions as MTX 7-hydroxylase in livers of animals and humans, and the observed differences of MTX 7-hydroxylase activity are due to variations in the amount of aldehyde oxidase present.
