/CASE REPORTS/ Umbilical cord tissue was studied as a means of detecting prenatal exposure to nicotine. ... Between June and September 2009, 19 women with a tobacco exposure history (either first- or second-hand tobacco smoke exposure during pregnancy) were consented for the study. A questionnaire was completed to document nicotine exposure during each trimester of pregnancy. All infants were delivered at term (38 weeks or greater) and paired umbilical cord tissue (10-cm segment or greater) and meconium were obtained. ... Nornicotine was detected only in meconium, at very low concentrations. ... All analyte concentrations were lowest when the mother stated she quit smoking early in pregnancy or had only second-hand exposure, and detection was poor if exposure was limited to the first or second trimesters. ...
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Neurotoxicity/ The present study demonstrates that S(-)-nornicotine evoked a concentration-dependent increase in dopamine (DA) release from superfused rat striatal slices. The increase in DA release was indicated by an S(-)-nornicotine-induced overflow of endogenous 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) in the striatal superfusate and by an S(-)-nornicotine-induced increase in tritium overflow from striatal slices preloaded with [3H]DA. Low concentrations (0.01-1.0 microM) of S(-)-nornicotine, which did not evoke endogenous DOPAC overflow, also were unable to modulate electrically evoked DOPAC overflow. The increase in DOPAC overflow induced by S(-)-nornicotine was compared with that produced by S(-)-nicotine. Comparing equimolar concentrations (0.1-100 microM) of S(-)-nornicotine and S(-)-nicotine, superfusion with S(-)-nornicotine resulted in a significantly greater DOPAC overflow. In contrast to the effect of S(-)-nicotine, S(-)-nornicotine evoked a sustained increase in DOPAC overflow for the entire period of S(-)-nornicotine exposure. Furthermore, DOPAC overflow evoked by S(-)-nornicotine in control Krebs buffer was inhibited by superfusion with a low-calcium buffer. Moreover, in the low-calcium buffer, DOPAC overflow induced by 30 and 100 microM S(-)-nornicotine was not different from that with no S(-)-nicotine, tobacco products and a known metabolite of S(-)-nicotine, increases DA release in a calcium-dependent manner in superfused rat striatal slices. It is interesting that unlike S(-)-nicotine, there does not appear to be desensitization to this effect of S(-)-nornicotine.
/GENOTOXICITY/ Of five tobacco alkaloids tested, only anatabine led to a dose-dependent enhancement of the number of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). Nicotine and nornicotine at high concentrations increased the baseline frequency of SCEs moderately. Anabasine and myosmine had no influence on the spontaneous frequency of SCEs.
/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ ... Nornicotine was found to covalently alter amyloid beta-peptide, leading to reduced peptide aggregation. Potential consequences of this reaction cascade include reduced plaque formation and/or altered clearance of the peptide, as well as attenuated toxicity of soluble amyloid beta-peptide aggregates. The findings described provide an alternative mechanism for nicotine neuroprotection in AD and a means for the alteration of amyloid folding based on a covalent chemical event.

Kinetic isotope and thermodynamic analysis of the nornicotine-catalyzed aqueous aldol reaction
摘要:
A series of kinetic isotope effects and thermodynamic studies were performed to test key predictions of a computationally derived model for a nornicotine-catalyzed aqueous aldol reaction. The relative energies of the two computationally-derived transition states were challenged using the proton inventory, which demonstrated that a single water molecule from the solvent is involved in, or before, the rate-limiting step. These results suggest the importance of proton transfer in the aqueous aldol reaction and may assist the development of other aqueous organocatalytic processes. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
