General description

A Certified Spiking Solution® applicable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications such as nicotine testing, forensic analysis or clinical and diagnostic testing. Nicotine is a highly additive tobacco alkaloid associated with numerous health risks such as heart health, mental health and cancer.

Application


  • Chiral nicotine for neuroreceptor research: S(−)-Nicotine solution is extensively used in neuroreceptor studies, particularly targeting cholinergic receptors. This enantiopure nicotine variant helps in understanding the binding affinity and activity differences between nicotine isomers, contributing to more targeted neuropharmacological interventions (Lu and Gao, 2024).

  • Pharmacological experiments in addiction research: The optically active form of S(−)-Nicotine is critical for addiction research, where it is used to investigate the pharmacodynamics and addictive properties of nicotine. Studies using this compound help in developing therapeutic strategies for smoking cessation and understanding the biochemical pathways involved in nicotine addiction (Yang et al., 2024).

  • Enantiomer specificity in biochemical studies: High purity S(−)-Nicotine is crucial for assays that require precise control over biochemical properties. Its application in cholinergic receptor assays helps to elucidate the specific interactions and effects of the S(−) enantiomer compared to its R(+) counterpart, thereby enhancing the accuracy of pharmacological models (Mancuso et al., 2024).

Nicotine plays an important role in the initiation and maintenance of tobacco smoking. Importantly, chronic nicotine exposure alters the function of brain reward systems, resulting in the development of a nicotine-dependent state. This nicotine-dependent state is associated with aversive affective

Nicotine stimulates brain reward circuitries, most prominently the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system, and this action plays a critical in establishing and maintaining the tobacco smoking habit. Compounds that attenuate nicotine reward are considered promising therapeutic candidates for tobacco dependence, but many
