The chemical formula for nicotine is C10H14N2, with a molecular mass of 162.23. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors, where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants (Solanaceae), most importantly in tobacco. It can also be found in lower quantities in tomato, potato, eggplant, green pepper, and coca plant leaves. The primary commercial source of nicotine is by extraction from the dried leaves of tobacco plant (Nicotinia tabaum and N. rustica).
