Nornicotine dipicrate is a synthetic saponin that acts as an insecticide. It has been shown to have stimulatory effects on the growth of plants, although its mechanism of action is unknown. Nornicotine dipicrate may also have toxic effects on insects and mammals, although these effects are poorly understood. Nornicotine dipicrate is chemically similar to lupinine and digitonin, which are found in the plant genus Lupinus.
