(S)-6-Methylnicotine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
(S)-6-Methylnicotine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist that exhibits agonistic activity on isolated guinea pig ileum. (S)-6-Methylnicotine produces sensations identical to those of nicotine and has addictive potential. (S)-6-Methylnicotine shows high cytotoxicity against human bronchial epithelial cells and exerts a weak effect on the upregulation of lung cancer-related proteins. (S)-6-Methylnicotine can be used in the research of respiratory system diseases.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
(S)-6-Methylnicotine is a naturally occurring minor tobacco alkaloid present in additive-free cured leaf tobaccos, smokeless tobaccos, and domestic/foreign/Nigerian cigarettes at an all-sample average level of 0.32 µg per g of tobacco material[1].
(S)-6-Methylnicotine confirms presence in Sweet Spearmint, Blue Razz Ice, and Mango Grapefruit Spree Bar e-liquids, with mass accuracy within 7 ppm of the theoretical [M+H]+ ion value[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (567.34 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (14.18 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (14.18 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
