 Use of Nicotelline


Nicotelline (Nicotellin) is a nicotine-related alkaloid, as well as a weak inhibitor of human cDNA-expressed cytochrome P-450 2A6 (CYP2A6). CYP2A6 mediates coumarin 7-hydroxylation, while Nicotelline fails to exhibit inhibition at 300 μM. Nicotelline can be used as a tracer and biomarker of particulate matter (PM) derived from tobacco smoke[1][2].
