• Bupropion in pregnancy and the prevalence of congenital malformations. [Pharmacoepide miol Drug Saf. 2007 May;16(5):474- 84.]: Results do not support a hypothesis of a teratogenic effect of first trimester bupropion exposure. The prevalence of malformations associated with bupropion exposure in the first trimester was not increased relative to the comparison groups
• Bupropion plasma levels and CYP2D6 phenotype. [Ther Drug Monit. 1996 Oct;18(5):581- 5.]: All available antidepressant s with the exception of fluvoxamine and nefazodone either are metabolized by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and/or inhibit this isozyme. To date, nothing in this regard has been published concerning bupropion. We report that plasma level/dose ratios for bupropion, and its metabolites erythrohydrobu propion and threohydrobupr opion, were not associated with debrisoquine metabolic status in 12 patients, three of whom were poor 2D6 metabolizers. The plasma level/dose ratios for the metabolite hydroxybupropi on were, however, significantly higher in poor 2D6 metabolizers. In three patients, who received a second phenotyping test during treatment with bupropion, debrisoquine metabolic ratios were not increased. It is thus inferred that bupropion is neither metabolized by nor inhibits CYP2D6. The potential accumulation of hydroxybupropi on after CYP2D6 inhibition may, however, contribute to toxicity and impair bupropion' ;s therapeutic effectiveness
