6-Chloronicotine is a drug which acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It substitutes for nicotine in animal studies with around twice the potency, and shows antinociceptive effects.[1][2][3][4]

Pharmacology

The antinociceptive effects of 6-chloronicotine are reported to be some 15.4 times the relative potency of nicotine in the tail flick test.[1] 6-Bromonicotine was 14.4 times nicotine in this same test.

Application

6-Chloronicotine is used in the synthesis of macrostomine (c.f. Arenina).[5]

Another application is in the synthesis of brevicolline, a naturally occuring harmala alkaloid present in Carex brevicollis.[6][7]
