Inclusion criteria included healthy nonsmoking males or females, 18 to 55 years of age.  Exclusion criteria included use of prescription medication (including monoamine oxidase inhibitors) within 14 days and over-the-counter medication within 7 days prior to the study.  Oral contraceptives or contraceptive implants were not allowed with 30 days and depot injection of a progestogen drug was not allowed within 1 year prior to investigational product administration.

 

Subjects were asked to abstain from alcohol, grapefruit juice, caffeine, and xanthine-containing foods and fluids from 48 hours prior to the start of the study period until the final blood draw.

 

Blood samples were collected at fixed times and plasma stored at -70°C until analyzed.  Samples were collected at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 16.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0, 72.0, 96.0, and 120 hours post-drug administration.

Two calibration curves and duplicate QC samples (at 4 concentration levels) were analyzed with each batch of study samples.  At least 6 out of 8 QC samples were within [blacked out] of their respective nominal value, except for 1 run for bupropion in which 5 out of 8 samples were within [blacked out] of the nominal value.  Study samples were stored at -70°C.  Samples were analyzed within the period for which the samples are stable at -70°C.  The performance of the assays for all analytes is considered acceptable.
