(1R,2S)-erythro-Dihydro Bupropion Hydrochloride(CAT: C000160) is a specific chemical form of a metabolite derived from the drug Bupropion. Bupropion is known as a selective inhibitor of dopamine uptake, and its metabolite, (1R,2S)-erythro-Dihydro Bupropion, is a compound formed during the metabolism of Bupropion in the body. This metabolite’s interaction with neurotransmitter pathways and potential effects on mood and behavior contribute to Bupropion’s therapeutic actions. Bupropion is commonly used as an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid due to its impact on dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain.
