General description

Bupropion is structurally linked to the phenylethylamine family. It is a monocyclic aminoketone (chloropropiophenone).

Application

Bupropion hydrochloride has been used as an anti-depressant and injected into mice intraperitoneally for forced swim test. It has also been used to study its effects on depression, anxiety and smoking cessation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bupropion possesses antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. It serves as a good auxiliary for people who makes an effort to give up smoking. It may also be used in the treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Inhibits the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters with Kis of 2.8 μM and 1.4 μM, respectively. Does not inhibit the serotonin transporter (Ki = 45 μM). Antidepressant.
