PURPOSES/BACKGROUND: The goals of this preliminary study were to survey psychiatrists and to examine the impact of advertisements on their prescription of psychotropic medications. The study specifically looked at psychiatrists in Massachusetts and Michigan, as the authors were able to readily contact the members of their respective state psychiatric societies. METHODS/PROCEDURES: We used the survey software, Quatrics, to create an online survey that was sent via email link to the members of the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society (1400 estimated members), and the Michigan Psychiatric Society (700 estimated members)...

BACKGROUND: Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, characterised by motor disturbances and non-motor (i.e., psychiatric) symptoms. Motor symptoms are the hallmark features of HD and take many forms. Their emergence is related to alterations in striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission: dopamine levels increase in the early stages of the disease, while more advanced stages are characterised by reduced dopamine levels. Such a biphasic change potentially explains the alterations in motor symptoms: increased dopamine-production induces hyperkinetic movements early in the disease course, while depleted dopamine storage leads to hypokinetic symptoms in the advanced phase...

BACKGROUND: The hierarchy of evidence coming from evidence-based medicine favors meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials over observational studies and clinical cases. Nonetheless, in the field of psychiatry, where conditions are much more complex, additional evidence coming from real-world clinical practice is necessary to complement data from these gold standards. Thus, in this systematic review, the aim is to summarize the evidence coming from clinical case reports regarding cariprazine, a third-generation antipsychotic drug that has been approved for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder with manic, depressive or mixed features in adults...

Cariprazine, an orally active and potent dopamine D3 -preferring D3 /D2 receptor partial agonist, is approved to treat adults with schizophrenia (in the United States and Europe) and manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (in the United States). Cariprazine also displays partial agonism at serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] 5-HT1A receptors and antagonism at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors in vitro. The study objective was to determine whether cariprazine leads to functional alterations of monoamine systems in vivo via electrophysiological recordings from anesthetized rats...

Cariprazine (Vraylar™) is a dopamine D3 -preferring D2 /D3 receptor partial agonist indicated for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. This narrative review summarizes pharmacological, efficacy and tolerability data relevant to the use of cariprazine in patients with this disorder. In 6-week, phase IIb and III trials in patients with schizophrenia, cariprazine was significantly more efficacious than placebo in improving schizophrenia symptoms, including improvements in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scores...

Cariprazine (RGH-188, MP-214, Vraylar[TM]) is a new dopamine receptor ligand developed for the treatment of several neuropsychiatric diseases including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Cariprazine displays higher affinity at dopamine D3 receptors and a similar affinity at D2 and 5-HT2B receptors. At variance with some atypical antipsychotics, its affinity at 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and histamine H1 receptors is modest compared with its three main targets. Cariprazine could correspond to a biased agonist at dopamine receptors, displaying either antagonist or partial agonist properties depending on the signaling pathways linked to D2/D3 receptors...

Cariprazine (Vraylar) is an oral atypical antipsychotic originated by Gedeon Richter. It is a potent dopamine D3 and D2 receptor partial agonist, which preferentially binds to the D3 receptor. Cariprazine also has partial agonist activity at serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. In September 2015, cariprazine received its first global approval in the USA for the treatment of schizophrenia and for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. It is also in development in a variety of countries for the treatment of schizophrenia with predominant negative symptoms (phase III), as adjunctive therapy for major depressive disorder (phase II/III) and for the treatment of bipolar depression (phase II)...
