N: 1. Also nicotin, poisonous volatile alkaloid base found in tobacco leaves, 1819, from French nicotine, earlier nicotiane, from Modern Latin Nicotiana, the formal botanical name for the tobacco plant, named for Jean Nicot (c. 1530-1600), French ambassador to Portugal, who sent tobacco seeds and powdered leaves from Lisbon to France 1561. His name is a diminutive of Nicolas.
– Chemical formula: C10H14N2 or C5H4NC4H7NCH3.
– CAS number: 51-11-5.
2. Nicotine, an organic compound that is the principal alkaloid of tobacco. (An alkaloid is one of a group of nitrogenous organic compounds that have marked physiological effects on humans.) Nicotine occurs throughout the tobacco plant and especially in the leaves. The compound constitutes about 5 percent of the plant by weight. Both the tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum) and the compound are named for Jean Nicot, a French ambassador to Portugal, who sent tobacco seeds to Paris in 1550. Crude nicotine was known by 1571, and the compound was obtained in purified form in 1828.
3. A very poisonous colorless, soluble fluid alkaloid … with a pyridine-like odor and a burning taste, obtained from tobacco or produced synthetically.
4. It is used as an agricultural insecticide and, in veterinary medicine, as an external parasiticide ….
5. (S)-3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)pyridine: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) for the systematic name corresponding to the CAS number indicated on the present record.
