4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone or nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) is a tobacco-specific nitrosamine. NNK is considered to be a carcinogen. NNK induces deleterious mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppression genes by forming DNA adducts, which could be considered as tumor initiation. Meanwhile, the binding of NNK to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor promotes tumor growth by enhancing and deregulating cell proliferation, survival, migration, and invasion, thereby creating a microenvironment for tumor growth.

Sample Use Guides

4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) has been tested for carcinogenicity by various routes of administration in adult mice, rats, and Syrian hamsters, and in limited experiments in mink and ferrets.
Route of Administration: Other
V79 cells were induced with different concentrations of 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) (0.1-0.4 mg/mL), and the expression levels of six Prx genes (Prx1-Prx6) were measured by qRT-PCR 24 h following NNK treatment.
