To compare the extractability of creatine phosphate with that of ATP by alcohol extraction, both compounds were extracted from normal perfused rat heart tissues by using various stepwise concentrations of ethanol and 0.4 M HClO4. Powdered samples (6-15 mg wet wt) from the freeze-clamped tissues were homogenized in 2 ml of the ethanol solutions. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed; each centrifuged sediment was rehomogenized with 2 ml of 0.4 M HClO4 and centrifuged. The supernatant was neutralized with 0.4 m KHCO3. The same powdered samples were directly homogenized with 2 ml of 0.4 M HClO4 and treated in the same manner. Only a small amount of ATP in the tissues was extracted by an 85% or higher concentration of ethanol. Further, about 13% of the tissue ATP was not extractable by the subsequent perchloric acid extraction. In contrast to ATP, creatine phosphate in the tissues was partially extracted by 95% ethanol and nearly all of the tissue creatine phosphate was extracted by 70% ethanol. The total creatine phosphate obtained by 70% ethanol and by subsequent perchloric acid extraction was significantly higher than that obtained by direct perchloric acid extraction. From these results, it was concluded that the extractability of creatine phosphate in the tissue by alcohol extraction is clearly different from that of ATP. Additionally, the stepwise extraction is recommended as a useful method for the extraction of energy metabolites in perfused rat heart tissue.
