[Bupropion activation of memory trace retrieval in amnesia and forgetting]
[Article in Russian]
Il'iuchenok RIu, Dubrovina NI, Vinnitskii IM.
The effect of a new antidepressant bupropion on the processes of retrieval of the conditioned response of passive avoidance in mice under amnesia of different genesis and spontaneous forgetting was studied. The drug was shown to exert the antiamnesic effect and to facilitate retrieval of amnesia-affected or forgotten memory trace. The maximal effect of bupropion was observed at the dosage of 30 mg/kg. At the use of bupropion on the 2nd day after exertion of amnesic influences there was registered the tendency to prolongation of preservation of the conditioned habit enhanced retrieval as compared with greater time periods. The drug effect under memory trace retrieval impaired by cycloheximide-induced amnesia was similar in the action but more pronounced than that under "psychogenic" amnesia. The data obtained testify in favour of an active involvement of the brain dopaminergic system in the processes of memory trace retrieval.

The effect of bupropion, a new antidepressant drug, and alcohol and their interaction in man.
Hamilton MJ, Bush MS, Peck AW.
The effects of bupropion and ethanol were examined alone and in combination in a placebo controlled, double-blind, crossover study in 12 healthy volunteers. Results were subjected to analysis of variance and differences of p less than 0.05 taken as significant. In the main study using the Wilkinson auditory vigilance test, no active treatment or combination of treatments produced significant change compared with placebo. However, when compared with bupropion 100 mg, vigilance was significantly impaired by 32 ml alcohol alone though not when combined with bupropion. No significant changes in reaction time or short term memory occurred. Visual analogue scales indicated that the subjects were mentally slower after alcohol 32 ml than after placebo. Combination of bupropion 100 mg with alcohol 32 ml abolished this difference. A similar pattern occurred with group ratings indicating mental sedation. Subjects were clearly able to differentiate between the 16 ml and 32 ml doses of alcohol when assessing their degree of inebriation. Combination of bupropion with alcohol made no difference to the ratings of inebriation. The top dose of alcohol tended to increase energy in the low frequency EEG bands. Combination of the top alcohol dose with bupropion, however, produced a significant reversal with lowered energy in the 4-7.5 Hz band. Combination of bupropion with alcohol failed to change the blood alcohol concentration achieved.

Neurochemical and neuropharmacological investigations into the mechanisms of action of bupropion . HCl--a new atypical antidepressant agent.
Ferris RM, Maxwell RA, Cooper BR, Soroko FE.
In the present study, bupropion has been shown to be effective in several behavioral models predictive of antidepressant activity suggesting that it should be an effective antidepressant in man. Furthermore, the data also show that the antidepressant activity of the drug cannot be due to its ability to inhibit MAO present in brain or to increase the release of biogenic amines from nerve endings. It also appears unlikely that the weak properties of the drug as an inhibitor of catecholaminergic pumps in brain csn explain its antidepressant activity. However, the weak but selective block of dopaminergic pumps observed in vivo can be correlated with the mild CNS stimulant properties observed in rodents. Bupropion, failed to desensitize beta-adrenergic receptors in rat cerebral cortex in chronic studies and exhibited equivocal results in acute studies. These neurochemical properties of bupropion serve to distinguish it from typical antidepressants of the MAOI and tricyclic classes and suggest that it should be classified as an atypical antidepressant, whose mechanism of action must still be elucidated.
