Methylecgonine cinnamate

Methylecgonine cinnamate is a natural tropane alkaloid found within the coca plant.^[1] Its more common name, cinnamoylcocaine, reflects its close structural similarity to cocaine. It is pharmacologically inactive,^[2] but some studies funded by anti-drug agencies imply that it is active when smoked.^{[citation needed]} Furthermore, the discovery of differing impurity products yielding methylecgonine cinnamate in confiscated cocaine have led enforcing agencies to postulate that illicit manufacturers have changed their oxidation procedures when refining cocaine from a crude form.^[3] Methylecgonine cinnamate can dimerize to the truxillic acid derivative truxilline.^[2] Methylecgonine cinnamate is mentioned in patents of active cocaine analogue structures.^[4][5]
