abstract：:The study describes the kinetics of demethylation of mononitrosocaffeidine (MNC), a new asymmetric N-nitrosamine derived from caffeine. The demethylation of its precursor compound caffeidine was also studied. The results presented here suggest (a) that liver microsomes from fasted rats preferentially demethylate the N...
