“…Nicotine is mainly metabolized in liver by cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) [117][118][119][120][121]. The principal nicotine-metabolizing pathway of nicotine is 5 -hydroxylation to 5 -hydroxynicotine [122,123] which is further oxidized to cotinine immediately [124][125][126], another metabolic pathway is N-demethylation to nornicotine and formaldehyde [127][128][129]. A detailed understanding of the mechanism of CYP2A6-catalyzed nicotine metabolism could provide a valuable mechanistic base for rational design of novel smoking cessation drugs.…”

“…With this free energy barrier difference, the calculations predict product abundance that 5 -hydroxynicotine is preponderant over the N-(hydroxymethyl)nornicotine by roughly a factor of 18:1. Since the subsequent processes of 5 -hydroxylation and Nmethylhydroxylation are quite faster [124][125][126][127][128][129] than the hydroxylation reaction itself, we might expect this 18:1 ratio to be conserved and continue onward to the cotitine and nornicotine products in nicotine metabolism. The predicted preference of 5 -hydroxylation over N-methylhydroxylation is in agreement with the experimental observation that cotinine is the primary metabolite of nicotine [121,[131][132][133][134].…”

“…As its name implies, AOX is known for its ability to oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids. However, AOX is also involved in the oxidation of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, as well as iminium ion intermediates (Brandänge and Lindblom, 1979;Whittlesea and Gorrod, 1993).…”

“…Lactam formation from an aliphatic carbon-nitrogen bond has been shown to be due to the sequential action of MAO-B (Chiba et al, 1985), or P450 (Cashman et al, 1992), followed by oxidation of the resulting imine by cytosolic AO (Brandlänge and Lindblom, 1979;Yoshihara and Ohta, 1998;Vickers and Polsky, 2000). The presence of residual AO activity in the microsomal and mitochondrial fractions precludes eliminating the involvement of this enzyme in the formation of M12.…”
