Pharmacology
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.
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic whose efficacy may be mediated through a combination of partial agonist activity at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors.
