Cocaine- and Cocaethylene-Creatinine Clearance Ratios in Humans [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Toxicology, 1997
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]

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Toxicology, 1998
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 ...

Chemical Straightening as a Source of Analytical Variability in Hair Testing: A Dual‐Analyte Case Report

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 771-776, June 2026.
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 ...
