Product Overview

Bupropion hydrochloride serves as a key treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) and as a smoking cessation aid. It acts by inhibiting norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake, enhancing mood and reducing withdrawal symptoms. The drug is metabolized in the liver, primarily producing 6-hydroxybupropion, which contributes to its therapeutic action. Regulatory frameworks emphasize bioequivalence through in vivo pharmacokinetic studies. Advanced modeling approaches, such as PBPK, predict the drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). These models integrate in vitro dissolution data and formulation properties, optimizing product design and regulatory assessments while supporting personalized therapy.

FAQ
How is Bupropion Hydrochloride metabolized?
It is metabolized in the liver primarily through CYP2B6 hydroxylation and by carbonyl reductase enzymes.

What does bioequivalence (BE) mean for Bupropion products?
BE ensures that generic versions of Bupropion provide similar pharmacokinetic profiles to brand-name products, confirmed through FDA-recommended in vivo studies.

What is PBPK modeling, and how is it used for Bupropion?
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling predicts the drug's behavior in the body by integrating drug properties and patient physiology, supporting drug development and regulatory decisions.
