| Bioactivity | Brexpiprazole (OPC-34712) hydrochloride, an atypical orally active antipsychotic drug, is a partial agonist of human 5-HT1A and dopamine D2L receptor with Kis of 0.12 nM and 0.3 nM, respectively. Brexpiprazole hydrochloride is also a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist with a Ki of 0.47 nM. Brexpiprazole hydrochloride also shows potent antagonist activity at human noradrenergic α1B (Ki=0.17 nM) and α2C receptors (Ki=0.59 nM)[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Brexpiprazole (0-1.0 μM, 4 days) potentiates NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in a dose-dependent manner in PC12 cells[1]. |
| In Vivo | Brexpiprazole (0-0.1 mg/kg; p.o.; once) improves social recognition deficits in mice[2]. Animal Model: |
