Nicotine is metabolized to the inactive metabolite cotinine by cytochrome P450 2A6. NNK, or 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, is a potent procarcinogen shown to be activated to a reactive mutagenic metabolite by the enzyme CYP2A6. We studied the effect of inhibiting CYP2A6 on smoking behavior and metabolism of the procarcinogen NNK. In study 1, abstinent smokers (n=7) received methoxsalen (a potent CYP2A6 inhibitor), 30-50mg orally, one-half hour before three subcutaneous nicotine injections (31mug/kg) were given at hourly intervals. Methoxsalen increased mean plasma nicotine by 47% (p<.01) and mean nicotine area under the curve (AUC) by 63% (p<.0001); and decreased nicotine clearance by 39% (p<.0001), relative to placebo. In study 2, smokers (n = 11) were told to maintain their same number of cigarettes smoked while receiving methoxsalen, 10 mg orally three times daily for 3 days. On day 3 of methoxsalen treatment, a 29% increase in plasma nicotine/expired-air CO (an index of smoke exposure) (p = 0.03) was observed. Urinary levels of trans 3'-hydroxycotinine (metabolized by CYP2A6 from cotinine) also were decreased (p<.0001), and significantly more NNK was metabolized to the inactive NNAL-glucuronide (1.04 +/- 0.54 pmol/mg on day 1 to 1.37 +/- 0.74 pmol/mg on day 4, p<.01) relative to placebo. Thus, treatment with the CYP2A6 inhibitor methoxsalen in vivo increases the routing of NNK to the inactive NNAL-glucuronide and decreases smoking. CYP2A6 inhibition may have potential as an exposure reduction or cessation strategy in tobacco dependence.
