代谢
盐酸安非他酮在人体内广泛代谢。有三个活性代谢物:羟基安非他酮,它是通过安非他酮叔丁基团的羟基化形成的,以及氨基酸醇异构体,threohydrobupropion(酸氨基醇异构体)和erythrohydrobupropion(醇氨基醇异构体),它们是通过羰基还原形成的。体外研究发现CYP2B6是形成羟基安非他酮的主要同工酶,而细胞色素P450酶不参与threohydrobupropion的形成。羟基安非他酮已被证明对去甲肾上腺素转运体(NET)的亲和力与安非他酮相同,尽管其浓度比母药高约10倍,但其抗抑郁活性大约只有50%。安非他酮侧链的氧化导致形成meta-氯苯甲酸甘氨酸结合物,然后作为主要尿液代谢物排出。代谢物相对于安非他酮的活性和毒性尚未完全表征。然而,在小鼠的抗抑郁筛选测试中已经证明,羟基安非他酮的效力是安非他酮的一半,而threohydrobupropion和erythrohydrobupropion的效力比安非他酮低5倍。这可能是临床上的重要性,因为代谢物的血浆浓度与安非他酮相当或更高。安非他酮及其代谢物在每天300到450毫克的长期给药后表现出线性动力学。
Bupropion is extensively metabolized in humans. Three metabolites are active: hydroxybupropion, which is formed via hydroxylation of the tert-butyl group of bupropion, and the amino-alcohol isomers, threohydrobupropion and erythrohydrobupropion, which are formed via reduction of the carbonyl group. In vitro findings suggest that CYP2B6 is the principal isoenzyme involved in the formation of hydroxybupropion, while cytochrome P450 enzymes are not involved in the formation of threohydrobupropion. Hydroxybupropion has been shown to have the same affinity as bupropion for the norepinephrine transporter (NET) but approximately 50% of its antidepressant activity despite reaching concentrations of ~10-fold higher than that of the parent drug. Oxidation of the bupropion side chain results in the formation of a glycine conjugate of meta-chlorobenzoic acid, which is then excreted as the major urinary metabolite. The potency and toxicity of the metabolites relative to bupropion have not been fully characterized. However, it has been demonstrated in an antidepressant screening test in mice that hydroxybupropion is one-half as potent as bupropion, while threohydrobupropion and erythrohydrobupropion are 5-fold less potent than bupropion. This may be of clinical importance because the plasma concentrations of the metabolites are as high as or higher than those of bupropion. Bupropion and its metabolites exhibit linear kinetics following chronic administration of 300 to 450 mg per day.
