Most antidepressants elicit their therapeutic benefits through selective blockade of Na+−Cl− - coupled neurotransmitters transporters. Here we report x-ray structures of the Drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter in complexes with the polycyclic antidepressants nisoxetine or reboxetine. The inhibitors stabilize the transporter in an outward-open conformation by occupying the substrate binding site. These structures explain how interactions between the binding pocket and substituents on the aromatic rings of antidepressants modulate drug – transporter selectivity.
