Benzoylecgonine can be found in medical products as a topical muscle relaxer, anesthetic or to relieve muscle pain. It is also a metabolite that is created in the liver after drug use, in particular, the use of cocaine, making it the main compound tested for cocaine use during drug screenings. The legality of this compound is in the grey area. Cocaine is a schedule II drug, but the metabolite is not the drug, it’s a by-product of its use. So detection of actual use is impossible, as its already a metabolite. But the use of cocaine and cocaine based drugs like crack is detected, through this compound. Benzoylecgonine is formed in the liver by the metabolism of cocaine, catalysed by carboxylesterases, and subsequently excreted in the urine. It can be found in the urine for considerably longer than the cocaine itself which is generally cleared out within 5 days

For drug with each melanin subtype, a time course (5,15, 30, 60, and 90 min) was run to determine the amount of time required for binding equilibrium to be reached. Time course samples were run at concentrations of 2 nM for BENZOYLECGONINE.
