Brexpiprazole hydrochloride
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Brexpiprazole (OPC-34712) hydrochloride, an atypical orally active antipsychotic agent, 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).

Brexpiprazole caused glycolipid metabolic disorder by inhibiting GLP1/GLP1R signaling in rats. [Abstract]2021 Aug;42(8):1267-1279. PMID: 33976388

To evaluate the effect of the new APD Brexpiprazole (Bre) on glycolipid metabolism during 28 days, rats were randomly divided into four groups, with six female and six male rats in each group: (1) the vehicle group, rats received a blank sweet cookie dough pellet; (2) the Ola group, rats were treated with Ola (1.0 mg/kg); (3) the Ari group, rats were treated with Ari (1.0 mg/kg); (4) the Bre group, rats were treated with Bre (0.5 mg/kg).

The rats treated with Ola, Ari, or Brexpiprazole (Bre, 0.5 mg/kg) had different degrees of weight gain.

The rats' FBG was elevated obviously after 3 weeks administration of Ola or Brexpiprazole (Bre, 0.5 mg/kg), while the significant increase of FBG in Ari group only appeared at the 4th week.

The pancreas H&E staining exhibited clear and well-organized structure of islets in the vehicle and Ari group rats, but abnormal histological changes such as vacuolization and islet size reduction were detected in both Ola and Brexpiprazole (Bre) groups.
