  A specific, fast and sensitive LC–MS/MS assay was d e- veloped for the determination of bupropion and its me- tabolite hydroxybupropion in human plasma using lidocaine as the internal standard. The limit of qu antifica- tion was 3.13 ng/ml for bupropion and 7.81 ng/ml fo r hydroxybupropion. The method was linear in the stud ied range of 3.13 – 400.00 ng/ml for bupropion and 7.81 – 1000 ng/ml for hydroxybupropion. This analytical me thod was applied to a comparative pharmacokinetic study, in which seventy eight volunteers (39 men and 39 femal e) aged between 18 and 50 years received a single oral dose of 150 mg of reference and test bupropion formulati on, in an open, two-period, balanced randomized, crossover pro- tocol. Group 1 received the medication without any addi- tional meal. Group two received a hyperlipemic meal 30 min before the medication. Based on the 90%.. View More»
