Relapse to cotinine seeking in rats: differential effects of sex

Xiaoying Tan et al.

Summary: Relapse is a significant challenge in smoking cessation management. This study found that cotinine, a major metabolite of nicotine, induces sex-specific relapse to drug seeking in rats, suggesting that cotinine may contribute to relapse.

Mechanisms of Nicotine Addiction

Marina R. Picciotto et al.

Summary: Tobacco smoking, with nicotine as the major reinforcing component, acts on the brain through nAChRs, mediating addictive behaviors. Genetic variations in nAChR subunits are associated with vulnerability to tobacco dependence, affecting patterns of nicotine consumption in mice. In addition to reinforcing properties, nicotine's effects on appetite, attention, and mood also contribute to tobacco smoking dependence.

Self-Administration of Cotinine in Wistar Rats: Comparisons to Nicotine

Zheng-Ming Ding et al.

Summary: The study found that rats could self-administer cotinine, with its effects being weaker and not influenced by sex compared to nicotine. The self-administration of cotinine was less pronounced than nicotine, and nAChRs may have different involvement in the self-administration of nicotine and cotinine.

Cotinine: Pharmacologically Active Metabolite of Nicotine and Neural Mechanisms for Its Actions

Xiaoying Tan et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the potential role of cotinine as a neuroactive metabolite of nicotine and discusses the available evidence regarding its effects. Preclinical findings show that cotinine interacts with both nAChRs and non-nAChRs in the nervous system, producing neuropharmacological and behavioral effects. Clinical studies suggest that cotinine is psychoactive in humans, but there is a lack of consensus on the mechanisms underlying its effects. Further research is needed to provide a better understanding of cotinine's actions and its contribution to tobacco addiction.
