Combined cocaine hydrolase gene transfer and anti-cocaine vaccine synergistically block cocaine-induced locomotion. [PDF]
Mice and rats were tested for reduced sensitivity to cocaine-induced hyper-locomotion after pretreatment with anti-cocaine antibody or cocaine hydrolase (CocH) derived from human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). In Balb/c mice, direct i.p. injection of CocH

Human Carboxylesterase 2 in Cocaine Metabolism [PDF]
Increased hydrolysis of cocaine to non-toxic compounds is a promising way to prevent cocaine-induced toxicity. However, the short half-life of cocaine in the blood and the rapid conversion in the body to the hydrolysis-resistant metabolite ...

Breaking point: Identifying the factors that predict suspension from school
Abstract School suspensions are associated with adverse educational and psychosocial outcomes, yet little is known about how structural disadvantage, relational factors, health behaviours, well‐being indicators and school‐level factors jointly predict suspension risk in England.

Basic Pharmacological Mechanisms of Cocaine
The chapter discusses the increasing dopaminergic activity of cocaine, by binding to the dopamine transporter and inhibiting dopamine uptake. The primary method by which dopamine is deactivated after its release into the synapse is also presented.

ABSTRACT Background Mental health courts divert individuals with serious mental illness away from imprisonment into community‐based treatment and supervision. Early research indicates that such treatment contracts can reduce recidivism and provide various other benefits. Aspects of eligibility for this diversion option are still under‐researched.

Levamisole is a common adulterant found in street‐distributed cocaine. Molecular baskets have been shown to form stable inclusion complexes with both substances. While levamisole inserts its benzene into the basket's cavity, cocaine utilizes its bicyclic ring for encapsulation.

Cocaine modulates locomotion behavior in C. elegans.
Cocaine, a potent addictive substance, is an inhibitor of monoamine transporters, including DAT (dopamine transporter), SERT (serotonin transporter) and NET (norepinephrine transporter).

4141 Molecular Signatures of Cocaine Toxicity in Postmortem Human Brain and Neurons
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this project is to identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers to treat or prevent cocaine toxicity by investigating proteomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic signatures of cocaine exposure in human subjects.
