Aside from a substantially shorter duration, it is believed to act similarly to the [[designer drug]] [[pentedrone]] and [[A-PVP]], which both as a potent [[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]] [[reuptake inhibitor]]s (NDRI),<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2602954</ref> although no substantial research on the pharmacology of this compound has been conducted. | ||
This means it may effectively boost the levels of the norepinephrine and dopamine neurotransmitters in the brain by binding to and partially blocking the transporter proteins that normally remove those monoamines from the synaptic cleft. This allows dopamine and norepinephrine to accumulate within the brain, resulting in [[stimulation|stimulating]] and [[physical euphoria|euphoric]] effects. | This means it may effectively boost the levels of the norepinephrine and dopamine neurotransmitters in the brain by binding to and partially blocking the transporter proteins that normally remove those monoamines from the synaptic cleft.
