Monoamine releasing agent
A
monoamine releasing agent
(
MRA
), or simply
monoamine releaser
, is a
drug
that induces the
release
of a
monoamine neurotransmitter
from the
presynaptic neuron
into the
synapse
, leading to an increase in the
extracellular
concentrations
of the
neurotransmitter
. Many drugs induce their effects in the body and/or brain via the release of monoamine neurotransmitters, e.g.,
trace amines
, many
substituted amphetamines
, and related compounds.
