Chemical Properties

Oil

Uses

A metabolite of NNK (Cat. #M325750), a tobacco-specific nitrosamine.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol is a member of the class of nitrosamines that is butan-1-ol substituted by a pyridin-3-yl group at position 1 and by a methyl(nitroso)amino group at position 4. It is a major metabolite of nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), which is a carcinogen found in tobacco and responsible for inducing lung cancer in smokers. It has a role as a biomarker, a human urinary metabolite and a carcinogenic agent. It is a member of pyridines, a nitrosamine and a secondary alcohol. It is functionally related to a 4-(N-nitrosomethylamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)butan-1-one.

General Description

This certified Snap-N-Spike^? solution is suitable for use as starting material in calibrators and controls for nicotine testing, environmental monitoring, or clinical and diagnostic testing of nicotine biomarkers by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS. NNAL is a metabolite of NNK or 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone. Measurement of NNAL levels in urine is a reliable way to determine NNK exposure in smokers, non-smokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), or users of smokeless tobacco products such as chewing tobacco or snuff.
