Ecgonine ethyl ester

Ecgonine ethyl ester is a metabolite of cocaine that is found in the blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid of humans. It is used in drug assays to detect cocaine use. Ecgonine ethyl ester binds to the dopamine transporter and blocks dopamine uptake into cells, which leads to elevated levels of dopamine in the synapses. Ecgonine ethyl ester also inhibits serotonin reuptake and has been shown to induce apoptotic cell death in human cancer cells. The following description would be appropriate for Rifapentine: Rifapentine is an anti-tuberculosis drug that belongs to the class of rifamycins. It is the most active of the rifamycins for the treatment of tuberculosis. Rifapentine inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication. The high frequency of human activity has been shown using a patch-clamp
