General description

m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine is a urinary metabolite of cocaine and a biomarker for determination of cocaine use. This Certified Spiking Solution® is applicable to use in urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, or forensic analysis by LC-MS/MS or GC/MS.

Application


  • m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine as a forensic toxicology standard: A study optimized and validated a method for analyzing cocaine and several metabolites including m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine in human urine via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, emphasizing its utility in forensic and toxicological applications (Fernández et al., 2019).

  • m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine for stability studies in toxicology: Research assessed the stability of cocaine metabolites such as m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine in meconium, contributing to better forensic practices by determining optimal storage conditions (Wu et al., 2017).

  • Accelerated solvent extraction featuring m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine: A protocol was developed for the extraction of cocaine and its biomarkers from meconium, utilizing m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine to monitor drug exposure, enhancing the accuracy of drug testing in neonatal care (Mantovani et al., 2014).

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry (MS) assay, already validated for opiates and cocaine in meconium, has been re-applied for determination of m- and p-hydroxybenzoylecgonine, using nalorphine as the internal standard. Methodology included an initial extraction from the matrix by

Recently, meta-hydroxybenzoylecgonine (m-OH BE) was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy during quantitative analysis for cocaine. Identification of m-OH BE in addition to the routinely identified benzoylecgonine by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy confirmatory assays may increase detection of cocaine-exposed infants and decrease

A fully automated system utilizing a liquid handler and an online solid-phase extraction (SPE) device coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) was designed to process, detect, and quantify benzoylecgonine (BZE), meta-hydroxybenzoylecgonine (m-OH BZE), para-hydroxybenzoylecgonine (p-OH BZE), and norbenzoylecgonine (nor-BZE)

Meconium has been reported to be a more suitable specimen than maternal or neonatal urine for detecting fetal exposure to cocaine. In a study comparing various immunoassays with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), several unexplained discrepancies among the assays were noted.

Clinics in laboratory medicine, 18(4), 699-704 (1999-01-19)
m-Hydroxybenzoylecgonine (m-OH-BE) and d3-m- hydroxybenzoylecgonine (d3-m-OH-BE) have been synthesized, and a GC/MS procedure with d3-m-OH-BE as internal standard has been developed. Among 24 human urine specimens that were positive for BE, all of them have shown detectable levels of m-OH-BE
