Nicotine, isolated from leaves of Nicotiana tabacum was complexed with zinc and studied for their antibacterial activities against ten different strains of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Results showed that zinc (II) complex of nicotine is more active against different types of bacterial strains as compared to zinc metal salt used for complexation and nicotine alone.
