A<unk>  (SRA) is a type of drug that induces the release of serotonin into the neuronal synaptic cleft. A selective<unk>  (SSRA) is an SRA with less significant or no efficacy in producing neurotransmitter efflux at other types of monoamine neurons. SSRAs have been used clinically as appetite suppressants, and they have also been proposed as novel antidepressants and anxiolytics with the potential for a faster onset of action and superior efficacy relative to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). A closely related type of drug is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI).
