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.
