A hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (HILIC-MS-MS) method for investigation of the in vivo metabolism of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a potent carcinogen, in rabbit blood has been developed and validated. This method achieved excellent repeatability and accuracy. Recovery ranged from

Cigarette smoking interacts with the urinary arsenic profile to modify the risk of urothelial carcinoma. NNK (4-[methylnitrosamino]-1-[3-pyridyl]-1-butanone) and its metabolite NNAL (4-[methylnitrosamino]-1-[3-pyridyl]-1-butanol) are biomarkers for cigarette smoking exposure. We explored the joint effects of urinary NNK metabolites and arsenic species

The nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), an important carcinogen found in tobacco products, causes lung cancer in genetically susceptible animals. In addition to mutations of the K-Ras gene, NNK has non-mutagenic effects that include alterations in gene expression and immunomodulation in the

Gene polymorphisms of the 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) metabolism-related enzymes-cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase 2A13 (CYP2A13) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT)-2B7 could contribute to the levels of NNK-related metabolites in urine, thereby increasing the susceptibility to urothelial carcinoma (UC). Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate

Tobacco smoking is the most widely known cause of human cancer-related death worldwide. NNK is one of the proved human carcinogens contributing to the development of several types of cancer. The carcinogenic effect of NNK depends on the metabolic pathway.
