Hydrobromide

In chemistry, a '''hydrobromide''' is an acid salt resulting, or regarded as resulting, from the reaction of hydrobromic acid with an organic base (e.g. an amine).<ref>{{Citation |last1=Yan |first1=Dawei |title=Molecular Imaging of Excitability Difference Between Alkaloids/Salts (Nicotine, Nicotinic Benzoate, Caffeine and Arecoline Hydrobromide) |date=2024 |url=https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=4693937 |access-date=2025-10-30 |doi=10.2139/ssrn.4693937 |last2=Liu |first2=Xiaomin |last3=Gao |first3=Yihan |last4=Li |first4=Xiaonan |last5=Pu |first5=Yichen |last6=Qian |first6=Yiting |last7=Zheng |first7=Saijing |last8=Shen |first8=Yi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Liégeois |first1=Jean-François |last2=Hayen |first2=Jean-Luc |last3=Taouba |first3=Hossein |date=2025-07-08 |title=Bromide and Hydrobromide Salts: Showing a Significant Difference in the Pharmaceutical Sciences through a Colorful Chemical Demonstration |url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jchemed.5c00266 |journal=Journal of Chemical Education |language=en |volume=102 |issue=7 |pages=3078–3084 |doi=10.1021/acs.jchemed.5c00266 |issn=0021-9584|url-access=subscription }}</ref> The compounds are similar to hydrochlorides.

Some drugs are formulated as hydrobromides, e.g. dextromethorphan hydrobromide.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Shader |first=Richard I. |date=August 2009 |title=Antidepressants as Hydrobromide Salts: Are They a Cause for Concern? |url=https://journals.lww.com/00004714-200908000-00001 |journal=Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology |language=en |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=317–318 |doi=10.1097/JCP.0b013e3181afe0f2 |pmid=19593167 |issn=0271-0749|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
