Researchers at Wake Forest University are working on a vaccine that could potentially cure or ease one's addiction to nicotine. And it is reported that the vaccine's first clinical trials showed promising results, which is good news for those who are really trying to quit smoking but are finding it very difficult.
This vaccine aims to help smokers, with the end-goal of eliminating the potential health risks of smoking and of smoking cessation drugs like Chantix and Zyban. |

According to the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, Nicotine Vaccine can potentially be used to inoculate against addiction.This proprietary vaccine is being developed by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals of Rockville, MD. with the support from the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse.It consists of the hapten 3'-aminomethylnicotine which has been conjugated (attached) to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoprotein A.
Nicotine is a small molecule that upon inhalation into the lungs quickly passes into the bloodstream and subsequently reaches the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier. Once in the brain, the nicotine binds to specific nicotine receptors resulting in the release of stimulants, such as dopamine, a chemical linked to pleasure and to addiction.Isn't it?? |
