Nicotine Ditartrate

• Catalog Number: orb2655531
• Category: Small Molecules
• Description: (−)-Nicotine is the dominant form of the natural alkaloid nicotine. It acts as an agonist of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and possesses addictive and teratogenic properties. (−)-(S)-Nicotine is significantly more active at binding nAChRs compared to the (+)-(R) antipode thus nicotine is typically synthesized as (−)-(S)-nicotine with only 0.2-1% of the (+)-(R) isomer present.
• Target: nAChR
• Purity: > 98% (HPLC)
• MW: 462.4
• CAS Number: 65-31-6
• Formula: C₁₈H₂₆N₂O₁₂
• Storage: Storage temperature: -20°C. Stability: ≥ 2 years
