S-(−)-Nicotine ditartrate dihydrate is a specific enantiomer and salt form of nicotine. The tartrate salt form of this specific enantiomer offers improved stability and solubility compared to freebase nicotine, making it especially suitable for various experimental setups, including biochemical assays. It is a potent neurotoxin and AChR (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor) activator. S-(−)-Nicotine ditartrate dihydrate is found to be the naturally occurring isomer form. By using this form of nicotine, researchers can precisely control dosage and concentration in experimental models, enabling detailed studies on how nicotine influences neurotransmitter release and receptor activation. Moreover, the use of S-(−)-Nicotine ditartrate dihydrate extends to analytical chemistry, where it is used as a standard in chromatographic and spectroscopic methods for the quantification of nicotine in biological samples, environmental samples, and tobacco products.
