NNK
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
NNK is a nicotine-nitrosated derivative. NNK simultaneously stimulates Bcl2 phosphorylation exclusively at Ser70 and c-Myc at Thr58 and Ser62 through activation of both ERK1/2 and PKCα. NNK induces survival and proliferation of human lung cancer cells. NNK can be used for lung cancer mice model structure.

Biological Activity
ERK1, ERK2, PKCα, Bcl2, c-Myc [1]
NNK (100 pM; 0-60 min) stimulates activation of PKCα and MAPKs ERK1/2 that directly induce c-Myc phosphorylation[1].
NNK (100 pM; 96 hours) enhances proliferation of cells expressing WT but not AA c-Myc mutant[1].

Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
NNK can be used in animal modeling to create lung tumor models. NNK is absorbed more rapidly from the duodenum than from the stomach in mice and is metabolized in both tissues. Alpha-carbon hydroxylation, which activates NNK, and pyridine N-oxidation, which inactivates NNK, occur more extensively in the duodenum than in the stomach. The rate of carbonyl reduction of NNK in the duodenum is ten times higher[2][4].
Administration: 3.1 mg or 9-9.4 mg (62.4 μg/mL) • add to drinking water
Mice: A/J
Administration: 100 mg/kg in 0.1 mL PBS • i.p. • three doses of NNK on three alternate days
(2) After 16 weeks of treatment with the carcinogens, all the mice were dissected, and their lungs and major organs were fixed in Tellyesniczky for 7 days, then the number of surface adenomas was counted under a dissection microscope.
