Product Information

• Name: Bupropion (R)-Isomer

• Description: Bupropion is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers. The (R)-isomer is the more active form and is used for the treatment of major depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and nicotine addiction. Bupropion has been shown to inhibit monoamine oxidase type A in humans and other mammals. This inhibition may be responsible for its antidepressant effects. The drug also has an effect on the liver, which can lead to serious side effects such as seizures or death if not monitored carefully. Bupropion has a high affinity for α1-acid glycoprotein, which plays a role in drug interactions with other drugs that are metabolized by this protein.
