2. Introduction nicotine
 Introduction Nicotine was isolated from tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum)
in 1828, but the powerful effects of nicotine were already well recognized
 The tobacco plant is native to the Americas and its use as a medicine and
stimulant goes back at least 2000 years and most likely many millennia
before that.
 Tobacco appears to part of the healing arts and sacred rituals of many of the
native peoples of the Americas. Codex, 16th century.)
 Nicotine is a potent parasympathomimetic alkaloid found in the nightshade
family of plants (Solanaceae) and a stimulant drug

3.  It is a nicotinic acetylcholine agonist receptor.
 It constitutes approximately 0.6–3.0% of the dry weight of tobacco and is
present in the range of 2–7 µg/kg of various edible plants.
 It functions as an antiherbivore chemical; consequently, nicotine was widely
used as an insecticide in the past and nicotine analogs such as imidacloprid
are currently widely used.

remove resin (said to contain chavicine, an isomer of piperine) and solution
of the washed, insoluble residue in warm alcohol, from which the alkaloid
crystallises on cooling.
