  2. Cocaine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine

    Cocaine-exposed babies also tend to have smaller heads, which generally reflect smaller brains. Some studies suggest that cocaine-exposed babies are at increased risk of birth defects, including urinary tract defects and, possibly, heart defects. Cocaine also may cause an unborn baby to have a stroke, irreversible brain damage, or a heart attack.

  3. Coca - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca

    The pharmacologically active ingredient of coca is the cocaine alkaloid, which has a concentration of about 0.3 to 1.5%, averaging 0.8%, [27] in fresh leaves. Besides cocaine, the coca leaf contains a number of other alkaloids, including methylecgonine cinnamate , benzoylecgonine , truxilline , hydroxytropacocaine , tropacocaine , ecgonine ...

  4. List of cocaine analogues - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cocaine_analogues

    This is a list of cocaine analogues.A cocaine analogue is an (usually) artificial construct of a novel chemical compound from (often the starting point of natural) cocaine's molecular structure, with the result product sufficiently similar to cocaine to display similarity in, but alteration to, its chemical function.

  5. Benzoylecgonine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoylecgonine

    It is a primary metabolite of cocaine, [1] and is pharmacologically inactive. [2] It is the corresponding carboxylic acid of cocaine, its methyl ester. It is formed in the liver by the metabolism of cocaine by hydrolysis, catalysed by carboxylesterases, and subsequently excreted in the urine. It is readily synthesised by boiling cocaine ...

  8. Biosynthesis of cocaine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis_of_cocaine

    Chemical structure of cocaine. The biosynthesis of cocaine has long attracted the attention of biochemists and organic chemists. This interest is partly motivated by the strong physiological effects of cocaine, but a further incentive was the unusual bicyclic structure of the molecule. The biosynthesis can be viewed as occurring in two phases ...

  9. Norcocaine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norcocaine

    Norcocaine is a minor metabolite of cocaine. It is the only confirmed pharmacologically active metabolite of cocaine, [1] although salicylmethylecgonine is also speculated to be an active metabolite. The local anesthetic potential of norcocaine has been shown to be higher than that of cocaine, [2] [3] however cocaine continues to be more widely ...
