Abstract excerpt
The nicotine metabolite ratio, i.e., the ratio 3-hydroxycotinine/cotinine, is used to assess the nicotine metabolic status and has been proven to predict the response to smoking cessation treatments in randomized clinical trials. In the current study, a pharmacokinetic-pharmacogenetic integrated approach is described, based on the development of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method...
