Benfluorex Hydrochloride functions as a serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. It acts by blocking the reuptake of serotonin and dopamine in the synaptic cleft, leading to increased levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. This mechanism of action results in enhanced neurotransmission and modulation of neuronal activity. Benfluorex Hydrochloride′s function involves the regulation of serotonin and dopamine levels, which play roles in various physiological processes. At the molecular level, it interacts with the serotonin and dopamine transporters, preventing the reuptake of these neurotransmitters into the presynaptic neuron. This action ultimately influences neuronal signaling and communication within the central nervous system. Benfluorex Hydrochloride′s mechanism of action involves the modulation of neurotransmitter levels and neuronal activity, contributing to its functional role in experiment.
