Role of ethanol exposure on cocaine metabolism in rat hepatocytes. M.L. Figliomeni and M.S. Abdel-Rahman. J. Appl. Toxicology, March/April 1997, 17(2), 105--112.

In the investigation reported the effect of acute ethanol exposure on cocaine metabolism was studied. An HPLC method was utilized to quantify cocaine, benzoylecognine, norcocaine and ethylcocaine formation in hepatocytes isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats. It is shown that cocaine is taken up by cell and is biotransformed as demonstrated, by the detection of the microsomal by-products of metabolism in cellur aliquots. 46 refs.
