Receptor Targets
Mechanism of Action
Methylphenidat acts through the following pharmacological mechanisms:
Receptor Profile
Der Noradrenalintransporter (NET) ist ein Monoamintransporter, der Noradrenalin aus dem synaptischen Spalt zurücktransportiert. Er wird von verschiedenen Stimulants und Antidepressiva beeinflusst.
Der Dopamintransporter (DAT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Dopamin aus dem synaptischen Spalt entfernt. Er ist ein zentrales Ziel von Stimulants und spielt eine Schlüsselrolle im Belohnungssystem.
