For 10 points, name these drugs that usually effect an increase in concentrations of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
One class of compounds with this therapeutic activity have two benzene rings fused to a cyclo-heptene- ylid-ene ring or a dihydro-azepine ring as a skeletal structure. In addition to those tricyclic compounds, this therapeutic activity may be present in hypericin and hyperforin. The efficacy of drugs with this therapeutic activity is measured using the Porsolt test. A non-traditional example of drugs with this activity includes agomelatine, in which melatoninâs indole skeleton is replaced with naphthalene. One class of drugs with this activity insert into the extracellular Y176 and F335 residues of SERT. The earliest drugs with this activity were discovered because of their ability to inhibit the oxidation of tyramine, and examples of those drugs include tranyl-cypramine and iso-carboxazid. Those compounds with this activity inhibit the oxidation of monoamines.
