Aripiprazole acts by binding to the Dopamine receptor D2 and stimulating it by acting as a partial agonist (4). This mechanism of action is the opposite of all the other atypical antipsychotics such as risperidone, clozapine, and quetiapine, which act by antagonizing this same receptor. Aripipraz...
Exact mechanism of action in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, 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 ...

This combined with the larger data base demonstrating its utility in bipolar disorder and depression, its safety profile and its unique mechanism of action, make aripiprazole for anxiety an intriguing avenue of exploration. Data from large randomized, controlled trials on the use of atypical ...
Mechanism Of Action The mechanism of action of aripiprazole in schizophrenia is unknown. However, the efficacy of aripiprazole could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at D2 and 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors. Actions at receptors other than...
Aripiprazole's mechanism of action differs from currently marketed typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs; it is a partial agonist at D2 receptors, with properties of an agonist and antagonist in animal models of dopaminergic hypoactivity and hyperactivity respectively, and this is believed to ...
Mechanism of Action Atypical antipsychotic; partial agonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin type 1 (5-HT1A) receptors; antagonist at serotonin type 2 (5-HT2A) receptor; also has alpha-blocking activity Aristada Initio Prodrug of aripiprazole and its activity is primarily due to aripiprazole, and to...
Aripiprazole was launched for the treatment of psychoses including schizophrenia and offers a novel mechanism of action as a partial D2 receptor agonist. Aripiprazole can be synthesized in three steps beginning by the condensation of 7-hydroxy-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroquinolin-2-one with 1 ,Cdibromobut...
How does Opipza work (mechanism of action)? Opipza belongs to a group of medicines called second-generation (atypical)antipsychotics. It is thought to work by balancing brain chemicals called serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals are known to affect thoughts and mood. ...
