General description

Anhydroecgonine methyl ester, or methylecgonidine, is a metabolite of smoked crack cocaine. This cocaine analog is also used as an ingredient in the production of phenyltropanes, a class of drugs used to treat cocaine dependency. This certified solution standard is suitable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, or forensic analysis.

A continuing social problem is presented by the large number of individuals who use crack cocaine. Recent research has identified unique pyrolysis products of crack or burned cocaine as anhydroecgonine methylester (AEME) and ecgonidine (ECD) through gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)
Anabel S Fandiño et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 15(12), 1543-1548 (2002-12-17)
During smoking of cocaine-base (crack), anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME, methylecgonidine) is formed in large amounts as a pyrolysis product of cocaine and is absorbed in the lungs. The metabolism of AEME was studied in the present investigation using microsome preparations

The presence of the cocaine pyrolysis product anhydroecgonine methyl ester (AEME, methylecgonidine) in plasma indicates the smoking of cocaine. The stability of this analyte in human plasma has not been studied. In the present investigation AEME and its hydrolysis product
Karl B Scheidweiler et al.
The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 307(3), 1179-1187 (2003-10-17)
Methylecgonidine is formed from cocaine base when smoked and has been identified in biological fluids of crack smokers. Ecgonidine, a metabolite of methylecgonidine formed via esterase activity, also has been identified in similar samples collected from crack smokers. Methylecgonidine and
