Pharmacology
The efficacy of olanzapine in schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder may be mediated through combined dopamine and serotonin type 2 (5HT2) antagonism; samidorphan is an opioid antagonist whose mechanism could be mediated through mu-, kappa-, and delta-opioid receptor antagonism.
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic whose efficacy may be mediated through partial agonist activity at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors; the active metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole also has affinity for D2 receptors.
