Application

Cocaine hydrochloride has been used:
  • in saline control to study the effects of cocaine self-administration in mouse brain[1]
  • as adopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA), and serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor to evoke neurotransmitter release in artificial fish cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF)[2]
  • to examine conditioning to intravenous cocaine hydrochloride[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inhibits the dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin transporters with Kis of about 300 nM, 900 nM, and 400 nM, respectively. Unlike amphetamines, it has no effect on catecholamine release.
Inhibits the dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin transporters.

Questions

  1. I wonder that if I dissolve the cocaine in saline, is it stable for long term? Should I storage it in -20 or 4? For how long?

    1 answer
    1. This product is sold as a white, photosensitive solid. The data sheet indicates solubility is 2.5 g/mL in water or 300 mg/mL in ethanol. No information is available regarding solution stability after solubilizing the cocaine. A certified reference standard is available as product C1528, with a concentration of 1 mg/mL in methanol. The recommended storage temperature for this product is 2-8 °C. A random Certificate of Analysis shows the product has a 3-year expiration date from the date of quality release.
