Brexpiprazole, a novel atypical antipsychotic drug, has therapeutic effects in the treatment and prevention of relapse of schizophrenia. It exerts its efficacy through partial agonism of dopamine D2 receptor and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A (5-HT1A), as well as antagonism of 5-HT2A receptor. In terms of pharmacokinetics, it features high oral bioavailability, a long half-life, and minimal influence of food on its absorption. Multiple clinical trials have confirmed its effectiveness in the acute treatment (2-4mg every day) and maintenance treatment (1-4mg every day) of schizophrenia. Regarding safety, common adverse reactions include akathisia and weight gain, with a relatively low risk of metabolic abnormalities. No systematic review of brexpiprazole has been published in China. This article conducts a systematic search for the first time and reviews it from aspects such as its mechanism of action, pharmacokinetic characteristics, clinical efficacy, and safety, providing a reference for rational clinical use.
