Abstract
Label from [13C,2H3-methyl]nicotine fed to Nicotiana plumbaginifolia suspension cell cultures is incorporated into cotinine but to a much lesser extent into Nâ²-formylnornicotine. This labelling pattern directly shows that Nâ²-formylnornicotine is not intermediate in the demethylation mechanism, but is formed by the condensation of nornicotine with formaldehyde.
