A norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) is a

extracellular concentrations of both norepinephrine and dopamine and, therefore, an increase in adrenergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission.[1]

A closely related type of drug is a norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agent (NDRA).

List of NDRIs

The skeletal structure of methylphenidate

Many NDRIs exist, including the following:

substituted amphetamines have a very diverse effects profile, and many of them have significant inhibiting effects on the SERT
.

Amphetamine and many of the other substituted amphetamines are inhibitors of

synaptic cleft. Thus, amphetamine and its derivatives have a pharmacological profile that is much different than classical NDRIs, but analogous to trace amines
. Amphetamine also inhibits monoamine oxidases at very high doses, resulting in less monoamine and trace amine metabolism and consequently higher concentrations of synaptic monoamines.
