Monoamine activity enhancer is a term coined in the academic literature with substantial research.
Selegiline, the prototypical MAE
Monoamine activity enhancers (MAE), also known as catecholaminergic/serotoninergic activity enhancers, are a class neuro-biologically active compounds that enhance the release of monoamines in the nervous system. Monoamine activity enhancers are distinct from monoamine releasing agents in that they do not cause the release of monoamines from synaptic vesicles but rather potentiate impulse-evoked monoamine-release.[1][2] Monoamine activity enhancers increase the number of monoamines released per electrical impulse received.[1][2]
