It inhibits metabolism of nicotine [2] [3] through CYP2A6 enzyme inhibition (K i = 7.5 ± 2.9). [2] [4] [5] It also inhibits CYP2A13 (K i = 5.6 ± 0.86) which might play role in nicotine metabolism. [5] [6] Nicotyrine is formed by gradual oxidation of nicotine in e-liquids and causes delayed nicotine clearance and attenuated withdrawal symptoms ...

[1] Others include N ′-nitrosoanatabine (NAT) and N-nitrosoanabasine (NAB).
