Abstract
The purpose of this work was: 1) investigation of cocaine metabolism in association with alcohol intake thoroughly. Carboxylesterases specificities with cocaine and cocaethylene metabolites were determined by incubating one of the two purified enzymes with benzoylecgonine, ecgonine methyl ester, ecgonine ethyl ester, norcocaine and norcocaethylene;
2) determination of each enzyme affinity for various xenobiotics. The first step consisted in isolating carboxylesterases 1 and 2 from human liver obtained by autopsy
