rac-Nicotine (Cat No.: R000840) is a synthetic mixture of the two enantiomers of nicotine: (R)-nicotine and (S)-nicotine in equal proportions. While natural nicotine found in tobacco is almost exclusively the (S)-enantiomer, which is primarily responsible for its pharmacological activity, the racemic form is used in research to study stereochemical effects on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. rac-Nicotine is valuable in neuroscience, toxicology, and drug development for evaluating chiral selectivity, receptor binding, and potential effects of the inactive (R)-isomer.
