Outline
Aripiprazole is a new kind of highly lipid soluble quinoline derivatives, its pharmacological effects characteristic is that it is not only the postsynaptic dopamine D 2 receptor antagonist, but also the presynaptic dopamine D 2 receptor agonist,it can also excite D 1, D 3, D 4 receptors ; it has dual effect of partial activation or receptor antagonistic on 5-HT 1A receptor ; it has a completely antagonistic action on the 5-HT 2A receptor. This feature is different from the first generation, and atypical antipsychotics which belong to the second-generation antipsychotic drugs, and therefore it is called dopamine system stabilizer or third generation antipsychotic. Since it is sold in the market, it is mainly used in clinical schizophrenia, treatment of affective disorders and other psychiatric disorders. According to the literature, aripiprazole has significant effects on schizophrenia positive and negative symptoms and anxiety, depression, cognitive function , while higher safety. It was also reported that the drug can also treat other mental disorders, such as mood disorders manic episodes, senile dementia associated with mental disorders, anxiety disorders, children's behavioral disorders, depression.
EU approves aripiprazole for treatment of schizophrenia
Nowadays,Bristol-Myers Squibb and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company announced that the European Union has approved Abilify (aripiprazole) in the treatment of schizophrenia listing application.
Schizophrenia affects 1% of the global population, and more in young adults. Schizophrenia affects thinking, emotional control and decision-making ability of the patient. Schizophrenia-positive patients will have symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, patients with negative symptoms are social withdrawal, lack of emotional changes.
In 2002 the FDA approved Abilify for the treatment of schizophrenia, which has five dosage strengths: 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg, since its approval, in the United States ,a 1.8 million Abilify prescriptions have opened. aripiprazole approved by The EU has four sizes: 5 mg, 10 mg, 15mg and 30 mg.
Aripiprazole as an kind of antipsychotic drugs, in rare cases it may be associated with life-threatening neuroleptic malignant syndrome induced (NMS), also be associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD) have some relevance. Studies have shown that atypical antipsychotics may lead to hyperglycemia, although the study did not examine aripiprazole, but the relationship between hyperglycemia and aripiprazole remains uncertain, therefore, patients in treatment should be carried out blood glucose monitoring.
Patients before receiving aripiprazole treatment should be inform the doctor the physical condition and current drug situation . Aripiprazole should be used with caution in patients with a history of epilepsy aripiprazole.
In short-term clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions of aripiprazole compared with placebo groups are: headache (32%: 25%), anxiety (25%: 24%), insomnia (24%: 19%), nausea (14%: 10%), vomiting (12%: 7%), somnolence (11%: 8%), lightheadedness (11%: 7%), restlessness (10%: 7%) and constipation (10% :8%). A double-blind 26-week clinical study showed that there was higher incidence of tremor in aripiprazole group , it is 9%, only 1% while in the placebo group, slight tremor but tolerable , but also often led to discontinuation.
Metabolize
Metabolic pathway of aripiprazole is mainly through three kinds of biotransformation: dehydrogenation, hydroxylation and N-dealkylation. In vitro studies have shown, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 are the two enzymes of the metabolism of the product , CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 are responsible for dehydrogenation and hydroxylation, and N-dealkylation is caused by CYP3A4 catalysis. Thus, when there is presence affecting two enzymatic activities and number of drugs, the amount of aripiprazole should be adjusted . In the steady state, pharmacokinetics of the product is proportional to dose. Single oral dose of 14C-labeled product showed that 55% of metabolites excreted through the feces, 25% excreted in urine and 18% of the original drug from the feces, 1% of the original drug excreted in the urine.

Metabolism
Aripiprazole is extensively metabolised by the liver
primarily by three biotransformation pathways:
dehydrogenation, hydroxylation, and N-dealkylation.
Based on in vitro studies, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6
enzymes are responsible for dehydrogenation and
hydroxylation of aripiprazole, and N-dealkylation is
catalysed by CYP3A4. Aripiprazole is the main active
moiety in systemic circulation. At steady state, dehydroaripiprazole, the active metabolite, represents about 40%
of aripiprazole AUC in plasma.
Following a single oral dose of [14C]-aripiprazole,
approximately 27% of the administered radioactivity
was recovered in the urine and approximately 60% in
the faeces. Less than 1% of unchanged aripiprazole
was excreted in the urine and approximately 18% was
recovered unchanged in the faeces.
