Monoamine reuptake inhibitor

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A monoamine reuptake inhibitor (MRI)[1] is a drug that acts as a reuptake inhibitor of one or more of the three major monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine by blocking the action of one or more of the respective monoamine transporters (MATs), which include the serotonin transporter (SERT), norepinephrine transporter (NET), and dopamine transporter (DAT). This in turn results in an increase in the synaptic concentrations of one or more of these neurotransmitters and therefore an increase in monoaminergic neurotransmission.

Uses

The majority of currently approved

drug laws; a prime example of such is the mixed monoamine reuptake inhibitor and releasing agent mephedrone.[6]

Types of MRIs

There are a variety of different kinds of MRIs, of which include the following:

Values are Ki (nM) or, in some cases (*),
IC50
Tooltip half-maximal inhibitory concentration (nM). The smaller the value, the more strongly the
drug binds to or inhibits the transporter.
