LC-MS/MS Method in Nicotine Metabolites Quantification

Abstract:

Nicotine is a ganglioplegic alkaloid, being the main component of tobacco. Some of the final metabolites of nicotine could be used to evaluate the nicotine dependency in humans using the Fagerstrom test. The test consists in cotinine quantitative determination, and evaluation of the correlation between cotinine from plasma and from urine. Cotinine quantification was performed using LC-MS/MS method both for blood and urine, in a private authorized laboratory for medical tests. Our study was conducted in two stages (1st year of study - initial assessment; and 6th year of study - final assessment) and included 62 apparently healthy subjects (77% females and 23% males) with an average age of 19±1.48 years at baseline, respectively 24±0.83 years at the final assessment. The prevalence of smoking increased significantly from 14.51% to 32.25% (p=0.01) (11% F and 3% M initially, respectively 25% F and 7% M final). The final assessment found that 21% became smokers after starting their university studies, 11% were permanent smokers throughout the 6th year study, and only 3.22% quit smoking. Percentage distribution on smoking addiction levels was at baseline: mild 11%, moderate 33%, severe 56%, and a final assessment: mild 15% (p=0.77), moderate 75% (p=0.01) and severe 10% (p=0.007). The results show a significant increase in the number of smoker girls compared to boys, a significant increase in the prevalence of moderately dependent smokers and a significant decrease in the prevalence of severely dependent smokers. LC-MS/MS can be used very well to evaluate the cotinine content in blood and urine, which could be used in Fagerstrom test in order to evaluate the nicotine addiction in young people and to find priority solutions for smoking prevention and quit smoking.
