“After a single injection of h2E2 (120 mg/kg) and cocaine hydrochloride (0.56 mg/kg), the concentration of cocaine and BE excreted into the urine of rats decreased by 92% and 91%, respectively, from vehicle controls.”

“In fact, benzoylecgonine can last in the body for a very long time (a few days) and, thus, is responsible for the long-term toxicity of cocaine and a commonly used marker for drug addiction diagnosis in pre-employment drug tests.”
“These observations are consistent with an inhibition in vivo of esteratic metabolism of cocaine to benzoylecgonine , resulting in higher cocaine levels and metabolism through alternative pathways.”

“If both substances were found (mean COC concentration 0.836 mg/L) the concentration of BZE was significantly higher (mean 0.669 mg/L) compared to cases with a single detection of BE (mean 0.209 mg/L) (p=0.001).”

“Moreover, the unpredictable extraction rate of both analytes, along with the hydrolysis of cocaine into BE significantly affects tissue concentrations, thus complicating the interpretation of quantitative results.”
