General description

Benzoylnorecgonine is a major urinary metabolite of cocaine, which can be determined by a variety of analytical techniques and is often used in toxicology screening to confirm cocaine abuse.

Application

Benzoylnorecgonine may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in cocaine based products using high-performance liquid chromatography.

To characterize the transplacental effects of cocaine on the developing brain, we have developed a mouse model of gestational cocaine exposure. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that cocaine and its metabolites (BE, BNE, and NC) were found in fetal brain and plasma

A method for simultaneous extraction of cocaine and metabolites benzoylnorecgonine, benzoylecgonine and norcocaine from meconium was developed. The procedure uses solid-phase extraction columns with both cation-exchange and hydrophobic properties after vortex-mixing meconium with methanol. Chromatography utilizes reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the determination of cocaine and selected metabolites (benzoylecgonine, norcocaine and benzoylnorecgonine) from human and canine serum has been developed. The analytes are extracted from 0.5-ml serum samples using strong cation-exchange and octadecylsilane solid-phase extraction

Recent reports indicate that cocaine metabolites have biologic activity and could be toxic. To explore this possibility, two studies were initiated. The first study aimed to define the distribution of cocaine species by quantifying levels of cocaine and its metabolites
