On the horizon there is a new class of psychoactive medications which work by inhibiting the neuronal reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. There are multiple potential indications for these drugs. Research suggests that they may have a role in treating depressive disorders, and it is plausible they may have potential efficacy in obesity, addiction, and pain syndromes. The current review describes some of the molecules in development presently and explores the research relevant to possible clinical uses for this class of medications.
在视野中出现了一类新的精神活性药物,它们通过抑制神经元对 5-羟色胺、去甲肾上腺素和多巴胺的再摄取而起作用。这些药物有多种潜在的适应证。研究表明,它们可能在治疗抑郁障碍方面具有作用,而且在肥胖症、成瘾和疼痛综合征中也可能具有潜在的疗效。本综述描述了目前正在开发的一些分子,并探讨了与这类药物可能的临床用途相关的研究。
