Chemical Information
Name4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone
Description4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a potent tobacco-specific nitrosamine in animals. It has been suggested to play a role in human tobacco-related cancers. P450 1A2 catalyzed the formation of keto alcohol and 4-oxo-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (keto aldehyde) from NNK, with the keto alcohol being the major metabolite. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC0 is an effective inhibitor of the carcinogenicity or toxicity of chemicals that are activated by P450 1A2.( PMID: 8625495) [HMDB]
