QUICK LINKS

Bupropion HCl is a non-selective inhibitor of dopamine and SLC6A2 (Ki values are 1.4 μM for SLC6A2, 2.8 μM for dopamine, and 45 μM for serotonin). It also inhibits neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, AChR, DAT and ST. In vitro studies of Bupropion HCl have been conducted in cell cultures and in isolated enzymes. Bupropion HCl has been found to inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in vitro. Studies in isolated enzymes have found that Bupropion HCl has a variety of effects on enzymes involved in the metabolism of neurotransmitters.
