SUMMARY The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA) prohibits the addition of artificial or natural flavors to tobacco cigarettes, with the exception of menthol. While the prohibition of flavored cigarettes in 2009 set in motion a significant decline in youth tobacco use, the proportion of menthol cigarette smokers has increased, suggesting that menthol may promote initation and maintain addiction. Flavor perception results from a synthesis of stimuli carried by gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory nerves. Cooling flavors such as menthol are considered soothing,. TRPM8, a member of the TRP ion channel family, is the target of menthol and other cooling agents in cold-sensing neurons and is also activated by cold temperature. The flavor industry has developed a range of synthetic cooling agents with novel sensory properties. These synthetic cooling agents have been detected in unregulated electronic cigarette liquids and are sold by online vendors as powders or solutions to mix into E-liquids.Other flavorants may also affect properties of sensory systems, including clove flavors, flavored with eugenol, a widely used dental anesthetic, and wintergreen flavors, flavored with methyl salicylate, a topical analgesic. In our preliminary studies we show that synthetic coolants and eugenol strongly activate TRPM8 channels. We performed a chemical analysis of clove-flavored E-liquids, and revealed that some contain very high eugenol levels (>100mM). In mice we observed that menthol reduced respiratory irritation by aldehyde-flavorant containing E-liquids, suggesting that menthol facilitates inhalation. We also observed that menthol increased cotinine levels, suggesting higher nicotine intake. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that some electronic cigarette liquids contain pharmacologically active flavorants that produce vapors with counterirritant or anesthetic effects suppressing respiratory irritation and facilitating initiation of product use. The following specific aims, using analytical chemical, pharmacological and physiological methods, are designed to produce evidence for or against this hypothesis. Aim 1: Determine contents of anesthetic and cooling agents in E-cigarette liquids and condensed vapors Aim 2: Determine pharmacological effects of E-liquids and condensed vapors containing anesthetic or cooling agents on mouse and human irritant receptors and excitability of trigeminal sensory neurons Aim 3: Measure impact of vapor exposure on ventilation and the respiratory irritation response in mice. Due to the close similarities between human and rodent TRP ion channels and their flavorant pharmacology, data resulting from these studies may support efforts to regulate some flavorants as pharmacologically active agents.

摘要 《家庭吸烟预防和烟草控制法》(FSPTCA)禁止添加人工或天然烟草 烟草香烟的香料，薄荷醇除外。虽然2009年禁止香料卷烟 在青少年烟草使用显著下降的推动下，薄荷醇香烟吸烟者的比例 增加，这表明薄荷醇可能促进启蒙和维持成瘾。 味觉是味觉、嗅觉和体感神经传递的刺激的综合结果。 薄荷醇等凉爽口味被认为是令人舒缓的。TRPM8是Trp离子通道家族的成员，是 薄荷脑和其他冷却剂的靶标在寒冷感觉神经元中，也被寒冷的温度激活。 香料工业已经开发了一系列具有新颖感官特性的合成冷却剂。这些 在不受监管的电子烟液中检测到合成冷却剂，并在网上出售 供应商作为粉末或溶液混合到E-Liquid中。其他调味剂也可能影响感官特性 系统，包括丁香味，用丁香酚调味，丁香酚，一种广泛使用的牙科麻醉剂，和冬青味， 用水杨酸甲酯调味，一种外用止痛剂。在我们的初步研究中，我们发现合成冷却剂 丁香酚强烈激活TRPM8通道。我们对丁香味的电子液体进行了化学分析， 并发现其中一些含有很高的丁香酚含量(&gt；100 mM)。在老鼠身上，我们观察到薄荷醇减少了 含有乙醛调味剂的E-液体对呼吸道的刺激，表明薄荷醇有助于吸入。 我们还观察到，薄荷醇增加了可替宁水平，表明尼古丁摄入量更高。 基于这些发现，我们假设某些电子香烟液体含有药理活性。 产生具有抗刺激或麻醉作用的蒸汽的调味剂，可抑制呼吸道刺激和 促进产品使用的启动。以下具体目标，使用分析化学、药理学和 生理学方法，旨在提供支持或反对这一假说的证据。 目标1：测定电子烟液体和冷凝蒸汽中麻醉剂和冷却剂的含量 目的2：测定含有麻醉剂或冷却剂的E-液体和冷凝蒸气的药理作用 药物对鼠和人刺激性受体及三叉神经感觉神经元兴奋性的影响 目的3：测定蒸汽暴露对小鼠通气量和呼吸刺激反应的影响。 由于人和啮齿动物的色氨酸离子通道及其风味药理非常相似， 这些研究的数据可能会支持将某些调味剂管制为具有药理活性的努力。 探员们。
