Metabolite Identification
Common NameNorcotinine
DescriptionNorcotinine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyridines and derivatives. Pyridines and derivatives are compounds containing a pyridine ring, which is a six-member aromatic heterocycle which consists of one nitrogen atom and five carbon atoms. In humans, norcotinine is involved in the nicotine metabolism pathway. Norcotinine has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make norcotinine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Norcotinine is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Norcotinine.
