Cariprazine, with its unique mechanism of action, may be an option for such patients. The additional benefits of using Cariprazine as an augmentation strategy include once-daily dosing, ease of titration, and a favourable side-effect profile. The report outlines t...

‡The mechanism of action of cariprazine is unknown. However, the efficacy of cariprazine could be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at central dopamine D2and serotonin 5-HT1Areceptors and antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT2Areceptors. ...

While the precise mechanism of action of cariprazine is unknown, its antipsychotic and procognitive effects may be mediated through partial agonism at dopamine D2/D3 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors as well as antagonism at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. Unlike many antipsychotics, cariprazine displays ...

Cariprazine's novel mechanism of action may allow it to be uniquely effective in dual antipsychotic therapy for TRS. Cariprazine has a higher affinity than dopamine for D3 receptors and has a 10-fold higher affinity for D3 than D2. This may contribute to its pro-cognitive and anti-hostility...
Background: Cariprazine is a third-generation antipsychotic with a unique mechanism of action. It functions as a partial agonist with high affinity for dopamine D2 and D3 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, an antagonist for 5-HT2A (moderate affinity) and 5-HT2B (high ...
