Plasma and urinary metabolites include biotransformation products formed via reduction of the carbonyl group and/or hydroxylation of the tert-butyl group of bupropion.  Four basic metabolites have been identified.  They are the erythro- and threo-amino alcohols of bupropion (17U67 and 494U73, respectively), the erythro-amino diol of bupropion (287U73), and a morpholinol metabolite (306U73)
