title: Demethylation in rats chronically treated with cocaine.
abstract: Norcocaine was prepared from cocaine utilizing diethyl azodicarboxylate. The rate of demethylation of 14C-cocaine in rats receiving either chronic or acute dosages of the drug was investigated. No significant difference in the rate of 14CO2 exhalation from the two groups was observed.
