Cocaine ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of cocaine in biological samples. Cocaine is a bioactive compound with pharmacological effects. It has the chemical formula C17H21NO4. Cocaine, derived from the coca plant, is a potent stimulant and the second most commonly used illegal drug globally. Its addictive nature is linked to the overexpression of the FosB protein in the nucleus accumbens, affecting the brain's reward pathway. Medically, cocaine is infrequently used as a local anesthetic, and it poses significant health risks, including the potential for stroke, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death.
