Brexpiprazole, risperidone, olanzapine and WAY-100,635 were dissolved in 5% (w/v) gum Arabic and administered orally (p.o.), at 10 ml/kg, 1 h prior to sociability testing. Male C57BL/6NCrSlc mice aged between 4 and 5 weeks old were selected as stranger mice, while animals between 8 and 10 weeks old were used for this study.

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
After a single-dose administration, the Tmax was four hours and the absolute oral bioavailability was 95%. Brexpiprazole steady-state concentrations were attained within 10 to 12 days of dosing. After single and multiple once-daily dose administration, the Cmax and AUC increased dose-proportionally. A high-fat meal did not significantly affect the Cmax or AUC of brexpiprazole.
Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled brexpiprazole, approximately 25% and 46% of radioactivity was recovered in the urine and feces, respectively. Less than 1% of unchanged brexpiprazole was excreted in the urine, and approximately 14% of the oral dose was recovered unchanged in the feces.
The volume of distribution of brexpiprazole following intravenous administration is 1.56 ± 0.42 L/kg, indicating extravascular distribution.
Apparent oral clearance of brexpiprazole after once-daily administration is 19.8 (±11.4) mL/h/kg.

---

Metabolism / Metabolites
According to _in vitro_ studies, brexpiprazole is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Brexpiprazole and its major metabolite, DM-3411, were the predominant drug moieties in the systemic circulation following single and multiple dose administration. At steady-state, DM-3411 represented 23% to 48% of brexpiprazole exposure (AUC) in plasma. DM-3411 is considered not to be pharmacologically active.

---

Biological Half-Life
After multiple once-daily administrations, the terminal elimination half-lives of brexpiprazole and its major metabolite, DM-3411, were 91 hours and 86 hours, respectively.

Hepatotoxicity
Liver test abnormalities were reported to occur in ~1% of patients on long term therapy with brexpiprazole, but similar rates occurred in patients on placebo or with comparator agents. There have been no published reports of clinically apparent acute liver injury due to brexpiprazole and only rare instances have been reported with the much more frequently used aripiprazole. Thus, liver injury due to brexpiprazole must be rare, if it occurs at all.
Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the excretion of brexpiprazole in breastmilk. A single case report implicated brexpiprazole as a cause of decreased lactation. A review of case reports found lactation disorders and breast secretion reported as side effects, but details are lacking. Until more data are available, an alternate drug may be preferred.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
A woman was taking brexpiprazole 2 mg daily during the third trimester of pregnancy for bipolar disorder. Her newborn infant was hospitalized in the NICU for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy for 18 days. While her infant was in the NICU, she reduced her brexpiprazole dose to 2 mg every 2 days because of a shortage of medication. The mother, who had successfully breastfed 2 previous infants, pumped milk 10 times daily and was able to pump 120 mL daily by one week postpartum. After her infant was discharged, she increased the dose back to 2 mg daily. At a follow-up clinic visit, she could only pump 30 mL daily. She then stopped brexpiprazole and began a short course of metoclopramide. Within 10 days of stopping brexpiprazole, her milk supply increased, and she could almost exclusively breastfeed her infant who gained weight normally. Her serum prolactin level also increased to normal.
A review of case reports of adverse reactions reported in the US Food and Drug Administration’s Adverse Event Reporting System from 2015 to 2023 found 6 reports of “lactation disorder” and 10 cases of “breast discharge” reported with brexpiprazole. Other details were lacking.

Protein Binding
_In vitro_, brexpiprazole was 99% bound to plasma proteins, mainly serum albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein.

Brexpiprazole is a N-arylpiperazine.
Brexpiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic and a novel D2 dopamine and serotonin 1A partial agonist called serotonin-dopamine activity modulator (SDAM). It has a high affinity for serotonin, dopamine and alpha (α)-adrenergic receptors. Although it is structurally similar to [aripiprazole], brexpiprazole has different binding affinities for dopamine and serotonin receptors. Compared to aripiprazole, brexpiprazole has less potential for partial agonist-mediated adverse effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms, which is attributed to lower intrinsic activity at the D2 receptor. It also displays stronger antagonism at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. Brexpiprazole was first approved by the FDA on July 10, 2015. Currently approved for the treatment of depression, schizophrenia, and agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease, brexpiprazole has also been investigated in other psychiatric disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Brexpiprazole is an Atypical Antipsychotic.
Brexpiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia and major depressive disorders. Brexpiprazole has been associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Drug Indication
Brexpiprazole is indicated as adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. It is also indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia in patients 13 years of age and older. Brexpiprazole is also indicated for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease; however, it is not indicated as an as-needed (“prn”) treatment for this condition.

Mechanism of Action
Although the exact mechanism of action of brexpiprazole in psychiatric disorders has not been fully elucidated, the efficacy of brexpiprazole may be attributed to combined partial agonist activity at 5-HT_1A and dopamine D2 receptors, and antagonist activity at 5-HT_2A receptors. Brexpiprazole binds to these receptors with subnanomolar affinities. These therapeutic targets have been implicated in psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and depression. Partial D2 receptor agonism allows the drug to stimulate D2 receptors under low dopamine conditions, while attenuating their activation when dopamine levels are high. Partial agonism at 5-HT_1A receptors may be tied to improved memory function and cognitive performance. Antagonism at α-adrenergic receptors has also been implicated in schizophrenia and depression.

In conclusion, brexpiprazole ameliorated social recognition deficits in mice after administration of dizocilpine, and the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100,635 reversed the effects of brexpiprazole in this model. Our results imply that brexpiprazole could potentially serve as a therapeutic drug to treat social cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia and MDD.[2]

---

In conclusion, our results suggest that brexpiprazole potentiates NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, through activation of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors and subsequent Ca2+ signaling, via IP3 receptors. Furthermore, it is clear that the increased levels of Hsp90α protein induced by brexpiprazole, also play a role in NGF-induced neurite outgrowth.[1]
