Abstract: Antidepressants of biogenic amines promised good economic benefits and prospects of development. In recent years, the research and development of antidepressants targeting the reuptake inhibitory effect of the 5-HT/NE/DA triple targets has been accelerated. However, abuse and addiction as possible side effects have become a public health concern globally. Drug dependence evaluation guidelines issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) all require non-clinical dependence potential evaluation of such drugs for the purpose of evaluating the dependence potential of these drugs effectively and guide clinical use. Through literature research, the status quo, existing problems and prospects of research on antidepressants of biogenic amines and evaluation of their dependence potential were studied. It is recommended that China learn from the experience of FDA and EMA to step up investment in the non-clinical dependence evaluation platform of antidepressants of biogenic amines and update related policies and regulations.
