Nicotryine is lesser known and minor tobacco alkaloid. 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.^[6]

It has insecticidal properties like nicotine and certain derivatives have been synthesized for that property.^[7]

Chemistry

alpha-nicotyrine and beta-nicotyrine are positional isomers of each other.

Synthesis

Nicotyrine can be produced readily from nicotine by catalytic dehydrogenation^[8] and from tobacco biomass by catalytic pyrolysis.^[9]
