A toxic alkaloid found in tobacco plants and certain nightshade plants, similar to nicotine.
From the genus Anabasis (a saltbush plant) combined with -ine (chemical compound suffix). The name references the plant family where it was first discovered.
Anatabine is tobacco's weird cousin compound that's gotten serious attention from researchers studying addiction and brain health, but it's way less famous than nicotine because it's harder to find in pure form.
