(−)-Nicotine ditartrate is a potent agonist of AChR (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor). When nicotine binds to these receptors, it stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. It also stimulates autonomic ganglia and skeletal muscle neuromuscular junctions. (−)-Nicotine ditartrate has been used in a range of in vitro experiments, including studies on the effects of nicotine on cell cultures, the effects of nicotine on gene expression, and the effects of nicotine on enzyme activity.
