How It Works

Selective antagonist at dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, with higher affinity for D3 receptors. It also has some antagonistic activity at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.

Mechanism Steps

1Amisulpride selectively binds to dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, with higher affinity for D3.
2Blocks dopamine receptors in the mesolimbic system, reducing positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
3At low doses, preferentially blocks presynaptic D2/D3 autoreceptors, increasing dopamine release in prefrontal cortex, improving negative symptoms.
