Biochem/physiol Actions
Prototype nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist.
(±)-Nicotine is a tertiary amine compound that is predominantly present in tobacco. It binds to the nicotinic cholinergic receptors of the brain, autonomic ganglia and neuromuscular junction. Nicotine allosterically regulates a number of biological events such as production of growth hormone, dopamine, adrenocorticotropic hormone and prolactin. Nicotine absorption across biological membranes is pH sensitive, which alters its ionization state. Absorption of nicotine is shown to be higher at alkaline pH, when it remains unionized. Nicotine metabolism occurs extensively in the liver and it can cross placenta.
