"In contrast to D2 receptor antagonism, partial D2 agonism is believed to decrease dopamine activity in an overactive dopamine system while simultaneously increasing dopamine activity in regions of the brain where dopaminergic activity is too low. By blocking overstimulated receptors and stimulating underactive ones, partial D2 agonists act as dopamine stabilisers. In common with aripiprazole, bifeprunox also acts as a serotonin, 5-HT1A agonist. This property may contribute to efficacy against the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and reduce the likelihood of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)."@en . . .
