The incidence of NMS has been estimated between 0.02% and 3.43% for patients receiving neuroleptic agents.2 The symptoms usually start in the first 2 weeks after initiating the medication. Serotonin syndrome is another clinical condition that is difficult to distinguish from NMS and typical feat...
Aripiprazole, a novel antipsychotic agent, is assumed to be a "dopamine-serotonin system stabilizer". Accord-ing to preclinical studies, aripiprazole exerts partial agonistic action on D 2 and 5-HT 1A receptors. Thus, it may block a receptor if it is overstimulated and stimulate a receptor whe...
Aripiprazole is considered a partial dopaminergic agonist, acting on both postynaptic dopamine 2 receptors and presynaptic autoreceptors, in addition to displaying partial agonism at serotonin 1A receptors and antagonism at serotonin 2A receptors. Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively ...
two key brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that appear to be involved in psychiatric disorders. Dopamine has many functions including regulation of movement, memory, motivation and pleasure, while serotonin’s functions include regulation of
Suicidal thoughts are may occur in some patients, especially children, teens, and young adults. Tell your doctor if this occurs. Other serious side effects of Abilify include: tardive dyskinesia(involuntary, repetitive movements) neurolepticmalignantsyndrome ...
Pharmacological Properties Aripiprazole is a quinolinone derivative with a high affinity for dopamine D 2 and D 3 receptors, and serotonin 5-HT 1a , 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2B receptors. The mechanism of action of aripiprazole is not yet known, but evidence suggests that its efficacy in the ...
Antidepressants: Abilify may interact with some antidepressant medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This combination can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Antipsychotics: Concurrent use of Abilify with other antipsychotic medications can increase the risk of side effec...
major depressive disorder, irritability associated with autistic disorder, Tourette's syndrome, and agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar mania has not been fully elucidated; may involve the drug’s activity at dopamine D2 and serotonin type 1 (5-HT1A) and type 2 (5-HT2A) receptors...

Aripiprazole has a high affinity for dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors (Ki values: 0.34, 0.8, 1.7 and 3.4 nM, respectively). It has a moderate affinity for dopamine D4, serotonin 5-HT2C and 5-HT7, alpha-1 adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors (Ki ...
