In the presence of alcohol, cocaine metabolism produces a number of metabolites, including three toxic ones (cocaethylene, norcocaine, and norcocaethylene) which are all more toxic than cocaine itself, with the toxicity in the order of cocaine < cocaethylene < norcocaine < norcocaethylene. In this study, we performed kinetic analysis on our previously reported cocaine hydrolase (E30-6) for its catalytic activities accelerating the hydrolysis of the three toxic metabolites in comparison with cocaine. Based on the obtained kinetic data, the in vitro catalytic efficiencies of the enzyme against these substrates are in the order of cocaine > cocaethylene > norcocaine > norcocaethylene. It has been demonstrated that E30-6 can efficiently accelerate the hydrolysis of not only cocaine itself, but also all three toxic metabolites in vitro and in vivo. E30-6 is the most efficient enzyme for each of these toxic substrates (cocaine, cocaethylene, norcocaine, and norcocaethylene) among all the reported enzymes as far as we know at this point. These findings suggest that E30-6 is capable of efficiently treating cocaine toxicity even when alcohol and cocaine are used concurrently.
