Chemical Information
FooDB NameNicotine
DescriptionNicotine, also known as (S)-nicotine or habitrol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrrolidinylpyridines. Pyrrolidinylpyridines are compounds containing a pyrrolidinylpyridine ring system, which consists of a pyrrolidine ring linked to a pyridine ring. Nicotine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Nicotine is a bitter tasting compound. Nicotine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as common persimmons, fox grapes, citrus, winter squash, and macadamia nuts. This could make nicotine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.

DescriptorIDDefinitionReference
AddictiveA substance causing physical or psychological dependency, often triggering compulsive use despite negative effects. Its biological role involves activating the brain's reward system, releasing feel-good chemicals like dopamine. Therapeutically, understanding addictive substances informs treatment of addiction disorders. Key medical uses include managing pain, although caution is advised due to the risk of dependency.DUKE
Analgesic35480 An agent that relieves pain by reducing or blocking pain signals in the brain, commonly used to manage acute or chronic pain, inflammation, and fever, with therapeutic applications in surgery, injury, and disease treatment.DUKE
Anorectic50780 An agent that suppresses appetite, reducing food intake. It plays a biological role in regulating hunger and satiety. Therapeutically, anorectics are used to treat obesity and weight-related disorders, aiding in weight loss and management. Key medical uses include short-term treatment of exogenous obesity and managing weight in patients with type 2 diabetes or other weight-related health issues.DUKE
Autonomic nervous system paralytic52217 An agent that disrupts autonomic nervous system function, blocking involuntary actions. Therapeutically, it reduces excessive sympathetic activity, commonly used in managing hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and perioperative tachycardia and hypertension.DUKE
Autonomic nervous system stimulant52217 An agent that enhances the activity of the autonomic nervous system, regulating involuntary functions. Therapeutically, it increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Key medical uses include treating hypotension, bradycardia, and neurogenic shock, as well as aiding in anesthesia and critical care.DUKE
Anti estrogenic35222 An agent that blocks or reduces estrogen's effects, used to treat hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer, and manage conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids, by inhibiting estrogen's biological role in promoting cell growth.DUKE
Anti feedantA substance that inhibits normal feeding behavior, found in certain plants, deterring insects and animals from consuming them. Its therapeutic applications include pest control, while key medical uses involve managing insect-borne diseases and reducing crop damage.DUKE
Anti-fumitoryAn agent that inhibits the activity of fumitory, a plant-based toxin. Therapeutically, it reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, with applications in managing respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders, and potentially treating conditions like asthma and irritable bowel syndrome.DUKE
Cardiovascular38070 A system that transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body, playing a crucial role in overall health. Therapeutically, cardiovascular agents manage conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and atherosclerosis, with key medical uses including regulating blood pressure, preventing blood clots, and improving cardiac function.DUKE
Cholinergic38323 An agent that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system by mimicking acetylcholine, enhancing muscle contraction, and regulating various bodily functions. Therapeutically, it treats conditions like glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, and Alzheimer's disease, improving muscle tone, cognition, and eye pressure.DUKE
Copaminigenic48560 An agent that enhances dopamine production, playing a role in mood regulation and motor control. Therapeutically, it has applications in managing depression, anxiety, and Parkinson's disease, with key medical uses including treating mood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.DUKE
Ectoparasiticide38956 An agent that kills or repels external parasites, reducing infestations. Therapeutically, it's used to treat conditions like scabies, lice, and mite infestations, providing relief from itching and skin irritation. Key medical uses include topical treatments for parasitic skin infections and prevention of parasite-borne diseases.DUKE
EpinephrininergicAn agent that mimics or enhances the effects of epinephrine, a neurotransmitter involved in the body's "fight or flight" response. It plays a biological role in regulating heart rate, blood pressure, and energy metabolism. Therapeutically, epinephrininergic agents are used to treat conditions such as asthma, anaphylaxis, and cardiac arrest, and have key medical uses in emergency medicine and critical care.DUKE
Herbicide24527 A chemical agent that kills or inhibits plant growth, used in agriculture to control weeds and pests. It has no direct biological role or therapeutic applications in human medicine, but its development has led to the creation of related compounds with potential medical uses, such as anticancer agents.DUKE
Hyperglycemic76916 An agent that increases blood glucose levels, often used to treat hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and as a diagnostic tool to assess pancreatic function.DUKE
Insecticide24852 An agent that kills or repels insects, used to control pests and prevent disease transmission. Therapeutically, insecticides have applications in public health and veterinary medicine, key medical uses include controlling insect-borne diseases such as malaria, typhus, and Lyme disease.DUKE
NematistatAn agent that disorients, paralyzes, or confuses nematodes, preventing root infestation, with potential therapeutic applications in agriculture and key medical uses in managing parasitic nematode infections.DUKE
Neurotoxic50910 A substance that damages or destroys nerve cells, disrupting normal brain function. It has no therapeutic applications, but is used in research to study neurodegenerative diseases. Key medical uses include understanding and developing treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, where neurotoxicity plays a role.DUKE
Pesticide25944 An agent that kills or repels pests, playing a biological role in controlling insect, weed, and fungal populations. Therapeutically, pesticides have limited applications, but some are used to treat ectoparasitic infestations, such as lice and scabies. Key medical uses include topical treatments for head lice and scabies, highlighting their role in managing parasitic infections.DUKE
Serotoninergic48278 An agent that modulates serotonin activity, regulating mood, appetite, and sleep. It has therapeutic applications in treating depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, with key medical uses including antidepressants, anxiolytics, and anti-migraine medications.DUKE
TranquilizerAn agent that induces relaxation and reduces anxiety, used therapeutically to manage anxiety disorders, insomnia, and restlessness, promoting calmness and sedation in individuals.DUKE
Anxiolytic35474 An agent that reduces anxiety symptoms, commonly used in managing anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, by modulating neurotransmitters like GABA, promoting relaxation and calming effects.CHEBI
