Myosmine is an alkaloid with the formula NC5H4−C4H6N. It is structurally and biosynthetically related to nicotine, being also found in tobacco and several other plants.[2] Chemically, it is closely related to nicotine. It inhibits aromatase sevenfold more potently than nicotine.[3] It also releases dopamine in adult but not adolescent rats.[4]

Myosmine is a precursor to nicotinic acid.[5]

Chemical synthesis

Myosmin can be prepared in the laboratory from 3-lithiopyridine via condensation with cyclobutanone to give the pyridyl-cyclobutanol. Reaction of the latter tertiary alcohol with hydrazoic acid under conditions for the Schmidt reaction gives myosmine. Reduction of the imine group in myosmin with sodium cyanoborohydride affords nornicotine.[6]
