描述
Nicotine N'-oxide (NNO) is a primary metabolite of nicotine, although only about 4-7% of nicotine absorbed by smokers is metabolized via this route. The conversion of nicotine to NNO involves a flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). It appears that NNO is not further metabolized to any significant extent, except by reduction back to nicotine, which may lead to recycling of nicotine in the body. [HMDB]. Nicotine-1'-N-oxide is found in many foods, some of which are thistle, swede, sorghum, and pulses.
