title: Effects of nicorine, nornicotine and allylnornicotine on the diuretic response to water in rats.
abstract: The LD50 in mice for nicotine, (-)-nornicotine and allylnornicotine given intraperitoneally was respectively 10 mg/kg, 18.8 mg/kg and 93.3 mg/kg. Whilst nicotine inhibited the renal response in rats to water, (-)-nornicotine and allylnornicotine were without effect. Nicotine antidiuresis was not antagonized by (-)-nornicotine or by allylnornicotine.
