Finally, bupropion (16, 294, 433) and UCI-30002 (514) are examples of synthetic compounds that act as noncompetitive inhibitors of different nAChRs, including those made up of the subunits alpha7, alpha4beta2, or alpha3beta4. Both compounds effectively decrease nicotine self-administration in rats (280, 514). Bupropion is presently approved as an adjunct therapy for smoking cessation. PubMed:19126755

Other studies have reported that bupropion blocked the acute effects of (-)-nicotine in a number of behavioral assays in mice (e.g., [171, 172]) PubMed:28391535
Bupropion [a.k.a. amfebutamone, (RS)-2-(tert-Butylamino)-1-(3-chlorophenyl)propan1-one, 3-Chloro tert-butylcathinone, 3-Chloro-N-tert-butyl-β-ketoamphetamine; Fig. 4] is a phenylaminoketone or cathinone derivative that is a weak central nervous system (CNS) stimulant PubMed:28391535
It is prescribed as medication for the treatment of depression (Wellbutrin®) and/or as an adjunct in smoking cessation therapy (Zyban®). PubMed:28391535
