Abstract
The synthesis of the enantiomers of bupropion, (rac)-2-tert-butylamino-3'-chloropropiophenone 1 (Wellbutrin) is described. The enantiomers were compared with the racemate in both the tetrabenazine-induced sedation model and the inhibition of uptake of biogenic amine assay. No significant differences were found in their potencies to reverse tetrabenazine-induced sedation in mice or in their IC50 values as inhibitors of biogenic amine uptake into nerve endings obtained from mouse brain.Entities:
