Adrafinil is AR (alpha-Adrenergic) agonist. Adrafinil undergoes metabolic conversion to generate modafinil. In vitro investigations have been conducted to explore the impact of adrafinil on various biochemical pathways, unveiling its ability to influence several neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Adrafinil acts as a selective, weak, atypical dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which indirectly leads to an increase in neurotransmitter activity. Furthermore, adrafinil has demonstrated the capacity to modulate the cholinergic system, which plays a role in processes related to learning and memory.
