Nicotine Ditartrate

SKU: orb2655531

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.
