Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/tcrb/monographs/1/index.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2928221/

Nicotine is a natural alkaloid obtained from the dried leaves and stems of the nightshade family of pants, such as Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana rustica, where it occurs in concentrations of 0.5-8%. Cigarette tobacco varies in its nicotine content, but common blends contain 15-25 mg per cigarette, with a current trend towards lower levels. Nicotine is highly addictive substance, it exhibits a stimulant effect when adsorbed at 2 mg. Administration of higher doses could be harmful. Action of nicotine is mediated by nicotinic cholinergic receptors. Nicotine binds to the interface between two subunits of the receptors, opens the channel and allows the entry of sodium or calcium. The principal mediator of nicotine dependence is α4β2 nicotine receptor.

Sample Use Guides

Reduces withdrawal symptoms, including nicotine craving associated with quitting smoking, nicotine is available as a chewing gum, and is administered according to a schedule at doses 2-4 mg once every 2-4 hours. Nicotine is also available as a transdermal patch.
Route of Administration: Other
Functional activity of nicotine against hα4β2 nicotinic receptors was evaluated using the 86Rb+ ion flux assay in SH-EP1 cells, expressing hα4β2. The 86Rb+ efflux was measured using the “flip-plate” technique. Nicotine activated 86Rb+ efflux with EC50 of 290 nM.

NICOTINE IS AN ANTIHERBIVORY ALKALOID AND POTENT PARASYMPATHOMIMETIC STIMULANT AND FOUND IN PLANTS, MOSTLY THOSE IN THE NIGHTSHADE FAMILY. NICOTINE ACTS AS A RECEPTOR AGONIST AT MOST NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS (NACHRS), EXCEPT AT TWO NICOTINIC RECEPTOR SUBUNITS (NACHR.ALPHA.9 AND NACHR.ALPHA.10) WHERE IT ACTS AS A RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST.
