Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Bupropion , a Food and Drug Administration–approved antidepressant and smoking cessation aid, blocks dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake transporters and noncompetitively inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine and serotonin (5-HT) type 3A receptors (5-HT3ARs).
Molecular Pharmacology  •  2019  |  View Paper
In addition to inhibiting dopamine reuptake, bupropion has been reported to block nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in vitro, and this action might contribute to its efficacy for smoking cessation.
In this study we investigated if nicotinic receptor-mediated responses in vivo are decreased in the presence of a behaviorally effective dose of bupropion.

It has been suggested that the interaction between bupropion and nicotinic mechanisms could be complex.
