ABSTRACT
P
The distributions of nicotine-"C (2'- or metlryl-habeled), catinino s'C . and motion-l'N-acidh-1'C wan studied by whole-body autoradiography in mice and in pardoned rabbit hangThsrcompounds wine administered after iv, an . to. or by inhalation . Bonk sections were Nan
Incubated with nicatom-"C and cotlnkq-"C in vitro. The distributions were compared in a
black (C57BL/8J1, brown (C571JJL and this (A/FJI strain and in CD-1 germ-free mica

accunndate site., nieatvu-11C or eotbrkte-s'C in the bronchi : whereas the affinity for meltnin wen unchanged. Incubation of fresh, nnnfroeen moue king and peruaion of rabbit lung in
vitro with nicotita-14C produced the same locsteration of radioactivity in bronchi an that seen
shr in rA- Wrtdmistraion . Preheatbng the frozen sections no lungs in a microwave oven oefore incubation did not change the taelizaion of radioactivity in the bronchi or other masons .
The localisation of radioactivity in bronchi may be dal to rtmtebaism, active transport r
binding of nicotine ; this mechanism is destroyed by freezing the tissue .
A remarkable, intense localization of radioactivity has been reported preliminarily in melanin .
bronchi, and nasal mawsa of whote•body autoradiographs after-peremerai administration of [Nmirhyf-"Clnicotise to minx (1-5)- Other basic
drugs also have been reported to bind strongly to
melanin in the eye of mice (6) : whereas specific
uptake in bronchi has been reported for progesterone (7, 8). pregnenolone (8), aldosterone (9), coninone (10), hydrocortisone (10) . diethylstilbestro l

(II), ascorbic acid (12), ooscapine (13), dimethylmercury (14), and 17P-hydroxyl-4,4,17-trimethylandrost-5-en[23-d[isoxazole which is an
inhibitor of steroid metabolism (7) . The potential
significance of these localizations in bronchi and
melanin has prompted continuing attempts to
elucidate the mechanisms. Comparison with the
distribution of cotinine--"C and nicotine-I'-Noxde-"C, metabolites of nicotine, and incubation
of nicotine-"C or cotinine-"C with whole-body
sections and lung pieces in vitro have allowed
further inferences- It appears that the localization
of drugs in melanin might be a nonspecific binding
of a basic compound to an acidic protein . The
localization of nicotine-'•C in bronchi may be due
to active transport, binding, or metabolism of the
compound to metabolites other than cotinine or
nicotine- I'-N-oxide.

radioactive spot. Purification was performed in .all
batches just before each experiment .
inhalation of [N-arrrkri-••Cjnimt toe, convened to the

although it was not identified . These animals had
been pretreated with hexobarbital to decrease the
toxicity of the large done of nicotine . The rapid
uptake in the brain with rapid decline after about
6 min was one focus of the earlier report (20) .
Also . uptake into ganglia (21) and the islets of
the pancreas (23) was well described . In the
present report no attempt was made to discern
ganglia . since Appelgren et al . (21)had thoroughly
described this phenomenon .

of the (N-melhrl-'•CJnicatine . This is consistent
with the total blocking accomplished by the very
large concentration of unlabeled nicotine in the in
vitro experiments .
The experiments with sections and lung in vitro
demonstrate three important poims . First of all .
the process of freezing the tissue destroys its ability to accumulate radioactivity in bronchi . Second .
the large difference in specific activity between
the nicotine and cotinine used in viiv may account
for the lack of apparent uptake of connive in vivo .
This had to be demonstrated in virro because the
specific acn'ity of the eotinine-"C was the highest aratfahle, and if the nicotine-"C had been
diluted with unlabeled nicotine to the specific
activity of the cotinine-"C . the dose would have
been man times the lethal done of nicotine . Since
nicotine-"C diluted to the same specific activity
as the codeine-'C did not accumulate in the
bronchi of fresh . unfrozen lung in vitro, it i, not
pov,ihle to conclude why cutinine does not ac vmulat, in. bronchi . Thirdh, heating the section, in
the microwave oven does not destroy the uptak .
nicotine had about one-tenth the specific activity
mechanism . This was somewhat surprising . but
and question the likelihood of alveolar cells being
act ive in metabolism . Our experiments with germ.
free mice rule out an implication of a mechanism
related to the presence of bacteria : affinity by
macraphages is thus unlikely . If the extent of
accumulation of radioactivity in bronchial epithelium and liver is indicative of the extent of metabolic activity at these sites . the bronchial epiihrlium has a much higher rate of metabolism than
liver . Dilution of bronchial epitbehum with other
lung tissue when the whole organ is homogenized
would reduce the apparent metabolic activity of
lung it, less than that of liver . This would give a
misleoding estimate of the rate in the bronchi .
The accumulation of radioactivity in the
hr-chi was somewhat less after udministration of
(P ru•didinv2-''Cjnicotine or (N-merh34•'•CJ
nicotine after pretreatment with unlabeled nicntinc than it was after administration of (,'t-rtterht1"CJnieatine atone . These decreases can he accounted for by the blocking from unlabeled nr:o-

Other possibilities for accumulation in these epithelial cello include active transport or binding of
nicotine.
The accumulation of both nicotine-"C and
cotinine-"C in melanin occurred under all conditions studied in this report, It would appear that
this is a simple binding of a basic compound to an
acidic protein . Although the accumulation in the
melanin in the meninges of the brain is dramatic .
there is no reason to believe that this has any direct
effect on the action of nicotine in the brain . There
was no detectable difference in the extent of uptake of nicotine-'C in the black (C570Lf6J) or
brown (C57L/J) strains. Only the are albino
human would offer a comparable analogy to the
albino mice (A/HeJ and CD-1) .
The nasal mucosa also had an intense accumulation of radioactivity from oicourte-'•C . 144•
