Anabasine is a chemical compound from the group of alkaloids . The compound consists of a pyridine and a piperidine ring, the piperidine ring having a stereocenter . It is structurally related to nornicotine , which has a ring narrower by one methylene group , and anatabine , whose piperidine ring has a double bond .

Occurrence

Tobacco plants

The L -form of anabasin could be detected in tobacco plants as well as in tobacco smoke .

properties

Anabasin is a yellowish liquid. It is a chiral compound that occurs naturally in tobacco plants as the ( S ) enantiomer . Anabasin has a toxic effect and, depending on the enantiomer, has a lethal dose (administered intravenously) of 11 mg / kg or 16 mg / kg in mice.

It belongs to the group of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists and, in sufficient doses, can cause symptoms similar to nicotine poisoning . This can lead to death from cardiac arrest .
