Cocaine and heroin are frequently co-abused by humans, in a combination known as speedball. Recently, chemical interactions between heroin (Her) or its metabolite morphine (Mor) and cocaine (Coc) were described, resulting in the formation of strong adducts. In this work, we evaluated whether combinations of Coc and Her affect the neurotoxicity of these drugs, using rat cortical neurons incubated with Coc, Her, ...
For the first time, the partition coefficients of the ionized forms of several opioids, amphetamine-like drugs, and their metabolites were determined by studying their ionic transfer process across the bare interface water/organic solvent. The ionic partition coefficients of the monocationic forms of 12 compounds heroin, 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM), morphine, acetylcodeine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, methampheta...
