Cocaine hydrochloride was administered by single intraperitoneal (IP) doses to pregnant rats at day 18 or 19 of gestation. Plasma and tissue cocaine and norcocaine concetrations were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic analysis of concentration versus time data showed rapid distribution of cocaine and its metabolite to maternal and fetal tissues. The area under the cocaine concentration versus time curve (AUC) in fetus compared to maternal plasma was 3.33. The half-life of cocaine in the maternal plasma and fetus was 46 and 55 minutes, respectively, similar to values reported for cocaine elimination half-life in human plasma. The order of cocaine concentrations was placenta fetal liver maternal heart whole fetus fetal brain maternal brain = maternal plasma. Norcocaine concentrations were usually less than 20% of cocaine concentrations in plasma and tissues. These results support extensive fetal exposure to cocaine following administration to pregnant rodents. Pharmacodynamic studies of cocaine in pregnancy should consider the effects of the drug on the developing fetus.
