Cariprazine is an antipsychotic approved by FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. The drug has a unique clinical action which is explained by its ability to act on dopamine D3 receptors. Pharmacology studies revealed that cariprazine is a dual partial agonist of dopamine D2 and D3 receptors as well as serotonin 5HT1a, 2a and 2b receptors.

TARGET->PARTIAL AGONIST
Most of the clinically used antipsychotics display fairly high affinity for D3 receptors in vitro, they lack significant D3 receptor binding in vivo. They also do not occupy D3 receptors in schizophrenic patients at clinically-relevant doses, despite having significant and expected D2 receptor occupancy. The lack of in vivo D3 receptor occupancy of currently used antipsychotics may be due to their inability to displace endogenous DA from these sites; especially since DA has approximately 20- fold higher affinity for D3 vs D2 receptors and D3 (but not D2) receptors exist predominantly in a high affinity state for DA”
