N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) is a strong carcinogen. The metabolic study of NNN in vivo will help us to further understand it, however, trace detection in complex matrices requires highly sensitive detection methods. After the chromatographic conditions and mass spectrometric conditions had

N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) is a strong carcinogen present in unburned tobacco and cigarette smoke. We here analyze data obtained in two studies, in which a biomarker of exposure to NNN--the sum of NNN and its pyridine-N-glucuronide, called total NNN--was quantified in

Nitrosamines are well known for their carcinogenic potential. Recently, it was found that some of them may also interact with human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes. This work studied the effects of N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) on recombinant rat α3β4 nAChR in

A concise and efficient route to (+/-)-N'-nitrosonornicotine 5'-acetate (NNN-5'-OAc), a stable precursor of the active metabolite 5'-hydroxy(+/-)-N'-nitrosonornicotine NNN-5'-OH is reported. The synthesis utilizes sulfinimine chemistry to give (+/-)-NNN-5'-OAc in 26% yield over 4 steps.

Tobacco-specific nitrosamines, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone and N'-nitrosonornicotine, are considered to be human carcinogens. Both compounds are metabolized to pyridyloxobutylating intermediates that react with DNA to form adducts such as 7-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]guanine, O(2)-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]cytosine, O(2)-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]-2'-deoxythymidine (O(2)-pobdT), O(6)-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]-2'-deoxyguanosine (O(6)-pobdG), and 4-hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone-releasing adducts.
