In Silico Investigations into the Selectivity of Psychoactive and New Psychoactive Substances in Monoamine Transporters

= 0.63). Both QSAR models described similar characteristics for binding, i.e., rigid hydrophobic molecules with a biogenic amine moiety, and were not sufficient to facilitate a deeper understanding of differences in affinity between the monoamine transporters. This contextualizes the observed promiscuity for NPS between the isoforms and highlights the difficulty in the design and development of compounds that are isoform-selective.
