Behavioral and eegraphic changes induced by dopaminergic antidepressants in rabbits.

Bo P, Patrucco M, Savoldi F, Formigli L, Manzo L.

Nomifensine, Bupropion and Amineptine, "second generation" antidepressants with dopaminergic effects, were studied in the rabbit with special regard to their action on somatic and autonomic behavior, and cerebral electrical activity. All three drugs induced an "alarm" reaction and typical dopaminergic behavioral responses including sniffing, jumping and chewing. Mydriasis was also observed especially at high dose levels. EEG showed an arousal pattern for each of these drugs. A marked increase in the hippocampal spiking resulted from the i.v. administration of 15 mg/kg of Bupropion.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for quantitating bupropion in human plasma or serum.

We report a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure for quantitating bupropion in serum or plasma for the purpose of therapeutic monitoring. Bupropion and its internal standard, a fluorinated analogue of bupropion, are extracted into hexane-isoamyl alcohol (96:4) after the addition of 400 microL 0.1N KOH. The organic phase is evaporated, reconstituted with 200 microL acetonitrile, and then analyzed on a silica column using a mobile phase consisting of 95% methanol and 5% NH4H2PO4. The ultraviolet detector is set to monitor 248 nm. Within-run and total precision at a therapeutic concentration of 30 ng/mL are 5.2 and 8.5%, respectively. The lower limit of quantitation is 5 ng/mL, and the upper limit of linearity is 400 ng/mL. More than two dozen drugs and metabolites were tested for interference; fluoxetine was the only analyte demonstrating a retention time that would interfere with bupropion quantitation. Chromatographic analysis time per injection is less than 7 min. This procedure combines a single-step extraction with HPLC analysis to provide rapid and reliable analysis of bupropion.

Cimetidine and ranitidine absorption were studied in rats, alone or in combination with concurrent but separate bupropion oral administration. Blood samples were collected before and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 h after dosing. In ranitidine-treated rats, an extra blood sample at 8 h was collected. Assays of cimetidine and ranitidine were carried out using a HPLC method. Mean cimetidine plasma concentrations on concurrent bupropion administration at 0.25 and 0.5 h were approximately 2 and 1.5 times compared to the control. Similarly, mean ranitidine plasma concentrations with bupropion combination at 0.25 and 0.5 h were significantly different and approximately 2 and 3 times higher. Time of maximum concentration for cimetidine and ranitidine on combination were reduced to almost half of the control value. However, only the time of maximum concentration for cimetidine showed statistically significant difference. No significant differences were observed between AUCs, maximum concentrations, and half-lives of cimetidine and ranitidine compared to their respective controls. The results suggest that concurrent bupropion administration may affect the rate but not the extent of absorption of cimetidine and ranitidine.
