This is done by promoting the release and inhibiting the reuptake and reabsorption of the neurotransmitters after they have performed their function of transmitting a neural impulse through release into the synaptic cleft, essentially allowing them to accumulate and render them liable for immediate reuse. | 6-APDB acts as a [[releasing agent]] and triple [[reuptake inhibitor]] of the monoamine [[neurotransmitters]] known as [[serotonin]], [[dopamine]] and [[noradrenaline]]<ref>Effects of 6-APDB on the release of monoamines from rat brain slices https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3582025/</ref> which are the global [[neurotransmitters]] that modulate the brain's ability to feel pleasure, motivation, reward, planning, attention and focus.
