Entry terms

  • Inhibitors, Neurotransmitter Reuptake
  • Inhibitors, Neurotransmitter Uptake
  • Neurotransmitter Reuptake Inhibitors
  • Reuptake Inhibitors, Neurotransmitter
  • Transmitter Uptake Inhibitors, Neuronal
  • Uptake Inhibitors, Neurotransmitter

Note

  • general or unspecified; prefer specific groups or specific drugs; coordinate with specific neurotransmitters /physiol

Scope note

  • Drugs that inhibit the transport of neurotransmitters into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. For many transmitters, uptake determines the time course of transmitter action so inhibiting uptake prolongs the activity of the transmitter. Blocking uptake may also deplete available transmitter stores. Many clinically important drugs are uptake inhibitors although the indirect reactions of the brain rather than the acute block of uptake itself is often responsible for the therapeutic effects.
