In humans, the plasma enzyme butyrylcholinesterase, BChE (EC 3.1.1.8), mediates the in vivo plasma hydrolysis of cocaine to the pharmacologically inactive metabolite ecgonine methyl ester, EME. This enzyme has been purified from human plasma to investigate the potential as a treatment for cocaine in

An inhibition study showed that the stereoselective hydrolysis of butyryl propranolol (butyryl PL) in rat liver microsomes and plasma involves carboxylesterase. The hydrolysis of (S)-butyryl PL in plasma was specifically inhibited by eserine and bis-nitrophenyl phosphate (BNPP), compared to the (R)-
Three physiologically important disaturated lecithins have been analyzed quantitatively as the acetate derivatives using a solids inlet probe and ammonia chemical ionization. Concentration independent response factors have been determined over a tenfold range that brackets human plasma levels. The r
