Anabasine is a pyridine and piperidine alkaloid found in the Tree Tobacco (Nicotiana glauca ) plant, a close relative of the common tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum ). It is a structural isomer of, and chemically similar to, nicotine . Its principal (historical) industrial use is as an insecticide .
Anabasine is present in trace amounts in tobacco smoke, and can be used as an indicator of a person's exposure to tobacco smoke.[1]
Pharmacology [ edit ]
Anabasine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist . In high doses, it produces a depolarizing block of nerve transmission, which can cause symptoms similar to those of nicotine poisoning and, ultimately, death by asystole .[2] In larger amounts it is thought to be teratogenic in swine.[3]
The intravenous LD50 of anabasine ranges from 11 mg/kg to 16 mg/kg in mice , depending on the enantiomer .[4]
Analogs [ edit ]
B. Bhatti, et al. made some higher potency sterically strained bicyclic analogs of anabasine:[5]
2-(Pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane,
2-(Pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane,
and 2-(Pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane.
