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

7-epidocetaxel (4-epidocetaxel) is an epimer of antitumor agent docetaxel (TAXOTERE). The presence of 7-epidocetaxel in docetaxel injection and in vivo epimerisation has been reported to be the cause for development of tumor resistance to chemotherapy including docetaxel by inducing tumor cell protein cytochrome P450 1B1.
