Drug

D0091 | Nicotine

Molecular Formula C10H14N2
Molecular Weight 162.23
Structure
State liquid
Clearance * 1.2 L/min [healthy adult smoker]
Volume of distribution * 2 to 3 L/kg
Route of elimination About 10% of the nicotine absorbed is excreted unchanged in the urine.
Protein binding Less than 5%
Half life Cotinine has a half life of 15-20 hours, while nicotine has a half life of 1-3 hours
Absorption Absorption of nicotine through the buccal mucosa is relatively slow and the high and rapid rise followed by the decline in nicotine arterial plasma concentrations seen with cigarette smoking are not achieved with the inhaler. About 10% of absorbed nicotine is excreted unchanged in urine.
Description nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) agonist; stimulant and potent parasympathomimetic alkaloid; naturally produced in the nightshade family of plants (most notably in tobacco);
