Aripiprazole, an oral quinolinone (carbostyril), is a novel atypical antipsychotic that has partial agonist activity at dopamine D-2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, and antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors.Aripiprazole had a rapid onset of action (as early as day 4) and was effective in the treatment of patients with bipolar I disorder experiencing an acute manic or mixed episode. Aripiprazole was generally significantly more effective than placebo in improving manic symptoms (as defined by a mean change in Young Mania Rating Scale Total Score) in 3-week placebo-controlled trials, and demonstrated superior effectiveness to haloperidol (response rate 50% vs 28.4% in patients remaining on treatment) in a 12-week comparative trial.The time to relapse of symptoms in stabilised patients with bipolar I disorder who previously experienced a manic episode was significantly longer with aripiprazole than with placebo in a 26-week relapse prevention study.Aripiprazole was generally well tolerated and was not associated with weight gain, serum prolactin elevation or clinically significant QTc interval prolongation.Changes from baseline in extrapyramidal symptom scale scores with aripiprazole were small (
