Results and discussion
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Absorption of nicotine depends on pH. Several variables are influencing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nicotine, e.g. the efficacy of metabolism, the rapidity of uptake, potential physiological effects of nicotine metabolites and nicotine excretion. The major route by which nicotine enter the body is via the lung. When nicotine is dosed orally or i.p., first-pass metabolism and its effect on the relative dose exposure to nicotine must be considered. Due to the fact that nicotine t1/2in rodents is generally shorter than in primates/humans necessitates the use of higher daily doses of nicotine in rodent models to achieve the nicotine concentration comparable to those seen in smokers.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
