Cocaine- and Cocaethylene-Creatinine Clearance Ratios in Humans [PDF]
Cocaine (COC)- and cocaethylene (CE)-creatinine clearance ratios (CCR) were determined in five patients. In each case, COC:CCR greatly exceeded CE:CCR, and in four patients the data suggested renal tubular secretion of COC. For all patients, some renal tubular reabsorption of CE was apparent.

Cocaine and Cocaethylene Binding to Human Liver [PDF]
The binding of cocaine (COC) and cocaethylene (CE) to whole human liver homogenates in vitro was studied by equilibrium dialysis. Drugs were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Up to 32% of COC and up to 43% of CE were bound. Scatchard analysis suggested a high-affinity, low-capacity binder for both COC (Ka, 4.69 x 10(4) L/mol; Bo, 1.08 x ...

Permanent chemical hair straightening was associated with analyte‐dependent changes in hair concentrations, showing increased endogenous GHB levels and decreased alprazolam concentrations after treatment. These results suggest that chemical hair straightening procedures may influence hair concentrations and should be considered when interpreting hair ...

TV-1380 attenuates cocaine-induced changes in cardiodynamic parameters in monkeys and reduces the formation of cocaethylene [PDF]
Background: TV-1380 is a rationally mutated, human BChE fused to human serum albumin that has high hydrolytic enzymatic activity against cocaine and as well as an extended elimination half-life.
