Application

Aripiprazole has been used to study its effect on mammary tumorigenesis, mediated by retrovirus delivery of receptor tyrosine-protein kinase 2 or HRas proto-oncogene, GTPase or by transgenic expression of Wnt-1 (proto-oncoprotein). It has also been used to study its behavioral and neurochemical effects in juvenile spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Aripiprazole has been used to study behavioral and neurochemical effects of aripiprazole treatment in juvenile spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), a model for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aripiprazole serves as a ‘;dopaminergic stabilizer’;. It is used as a potential therapeutic to treat schizophrenia patients. In addition, it is also preferably used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients with Tourette syndrome (TS).

Aripiprazole is a second generation atypical antipsychotic and anti-depressant with partial agonist activity at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. Ki values are 0.34 nM, 0.8 nM, 1.7 nM, and 3.4 nM, respectively, for dopamine D2 and D3, serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. Aripiprazole is used in the treatment of schizophrenia.
