It is none of those. Cocaine is an alkaloid (like a base or the opposite of an acid) and a member of a broad group of plant substances that also includes nicotine, caffeine, and morphine. These contain nitrogen. The chemical name for cocaine is benzoyl-methyl-ecgonine.

Cocaine is neither a protein, carbohydrate nor a fat. It is a tropane alkaloid and the main alkaloid of the plant Erythroxylon coca Lam. and other species. Its chemical name is [1R-(exo,exo)]-3-(Benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester. This alkaloid can be extracted from leaves of Erythroxylon, related species from the family of Erythroxylaceae or by chemical synthesis. This compound is a narcotic drug that has euphoric or hallucinogenic effects and produces high levels of dependence to it.
