Unlike antipsychotics that simply block dopamine, aripiprazole acts as a partial agonist at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. As a partial agonist it can either mildly stimulate or restrain these pathways depending on the surrounding level of neurotransmitter, helping to stabilize signaling rather than shut it down. This mechanism supports its use in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as an add-on for depression, and for irritability in autism. A small molecule (C23H27Cl2N3O2) with a notably long half-life of about 75 hours, it reaches steady state slowly and sustains its effect between doses. The stabilizing, buffering nature of partial agonism gives it a receptor profile distinct from earlier second-generation agents. Aripiprazole is an approved antipsychotic used across several psychiatric indications.

An atypical antipsychotic that acts as a partial agonist at dopamine and serotonin receptors rather than simply blocking them, helping to stabilize these pathways in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is also approved as an adjunct for depression and for irritability in autism.
