Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/tcrb/monographs/7/m7_7.pdf | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26972290

Cotinine is a product formed after the chemical nicotine enters the body. Measuring cotinine in people’s blood is the most reliable way to determine exposure to nicotine for both smokers and nonsmokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Cotinine is safe, non-addictive and has pharmacokinetic properties adequate for therapeutic use. Research has shown that cotinine has antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties and modulates the serotonergic, cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. Cotinine behaves as a positive allosteric modulator of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and has anti-inflammatory effects. Cotinine is under investigation as an agent for the treatment of depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Sample Use Guides

Mouse: 5 mg/kg during 37 days
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
High (190 ug/ml) concentration of Cotinine significantly altered all the sperm kinetic variables in relation to the time of incubation (forward motility, velocity, linearity and beat cross-frequency). Despite the impact seen on these parameters, there was still 30% forward motility after 24 h of incubation.
