Product Information

• Name: (S)-1-(2-(Pyridin-3-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Nicotine is a potent alkaloid that is found in the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum and other tobacco plants. Nicotine acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are located on the post-synaptic membrane of neurons. These receptors are stimulated by acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine. Nicotine inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine and stimulates these receptors, leading to increased activity in these neurons. Nicotine also binds to monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes, preventing them from metabolizing norepinephrine and epinephrine, which leads to an increase in levels of these neurotransmitters. Nicotine also has been shown to stimulate lipolysis and fatty acid synthesis in cells.
