Ion cluster technique in conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for the identification and quantitation major metabolites cocaine (1a) in rat and humans. In a typical experiment, a female rat weighing 250 gm was intraperitoneally administered a 20-mg/kg mixture1a, NCD3cocaine (1b), OCD3cocaine (1c), and 4T2cocaine (1d). The urine was collected, extracted with organic solvents, and separated into several fractions using TLC and HPLC techniques. Tritium radioactivity in a metabolically stable position in1dwas useful in the separation metabolites, while the deuterium labeled1(b+c), creating an artificial isotopic cluster, provided specific identification metabolites by mass spectrometric interpretation. Norcocaine (2), benzoylnorecgonine (3),N-hydroxynorcocaine (4), methylecgonidine (5), benzoylecgonine (11), ecgonine methyl ester (9), hydroxycocaine (7), hydroxymethoxycocaine (10), and dimethoxyhydroxycocaine (6) were found to be the major metabolites of1ain the rat urine as well as in plasma. The whole brain analysis showed significant amounts of unmetabolized1aand2, and minor concentrations of9,5,7, and10, and traces of6. Some of these metabolites have been reported earlier by us as well as other investigators and are unequivocally confirmed in this work. Unmetabolized1a, its pharmacologically active metabolite2, and other major metabolites were quantitated in the rat brain, plasma, and urine using stable isotope-labeled analogues as internal standards and selected ion monitoring (SIM) mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic profiles of1aand2indicate half-lives <20 min in the brain and plasma. These data are in good agreement with widely reported short-lived behavioral effects cocaine. The ion cluster methodology developed for the animal studies was successfully used in the identification metabolic pathways of cocaine in humans. Several human urine samples were analyzed using GC-MS and SIM procedures, and the metabolic profile in humans was found to be similar to the one in rat.
