A novel sugar-containing nicotine derivative represented by general formula (1), wherein R represents a ribofuranosyl group; and X represents an oxygen atom or two hydrogen atoms. This compound is an excellent smoking taste modifier and has the effects of restoring the odor and taste of tobacco lost in the production of shredded tobacco and imparting a fine pattern of spreading to the smoke. Because the compound (1) has a characteristic structure containing ribofuranose in its molecule and also containing a physiologically active nicotine as the aglycon, it is expected to be used as a medicine with a reduced toxicity besides the smoking taste modifier. The invention also provides another novel nicotine derivative represented by general formula (2) wherein X is as defined above.
一种新型含糖
烟碱衍
生物,由通式(1)表示,其中 R 代表一个核
呋喃基团;X 代表一个氧原子或两个氢原子。这种化合物是一种极佳的烟味调节剂,具有恢复切丝烟草生产过程中损失的烟草气味和味道的作用,并能使烟雾呈现出细微的扩散模式。由于化合物(1)具有分子中含有核
呋喃糖的特征结构,并且还含有具有生理活性的
尼古丁作为苷元,因此除了作为烟味调节剂外,还有望用作毒性较低的药物。本发明还提供了由通式(2)表示的另一种新型
尼古丁衍
生物,其中 X 如上文所定义。
