Aripiprazole is used IM for the acute management of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, mixed or manic, in adults for whom treatment with aripiprazole is appropriate and who require an IM antipsychotic agent for rapid control of behaviors that interfere with diagnosis and care (e.g., threatening behaviors, escalating or urgently distressing behavior, self-exhausting behavior).

/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: INCREASED MORTALITY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA-RELATED PSYCHOSIS. Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5%, compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (eg, heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (eg, pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic(s) of the patients is not clear. ABILIFY (aripiprazole) is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis. /Included in label/

/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: INCREASED SUICIDALTHOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS. Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of adjunctive ABILIFY or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. ABILIFY is not approved for use in pediatric patients with depression. /Included in label/

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients with bipolar mania were established in a 4-week, placebo-controlled clinical trial in 197 pediatric patients aged 10 to 17 years. The incidence of discontinuation due to adverse reactions between aripiprazole-treated and placebo-treated pediatric patients (10 to 17 years) was 7% and 2%, respectively. Commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of aripiprazole in pediatric patients with bipolar mania (incidence of 5% or greater and aripiprazole incidence at least twice that for placebo) somnolence, extrapyramidal disorder, fatigue, nausea, akathisia, blurred vision, salivary hypersecretion, and dizziness. Although maintenance efficacy in pediatric patients has not been systematically evaluated, maintenance efficacy can be extrapolated from adult data along with comparisons of aripiprazole pharmacokinetic parameters in adult and pediatric patients.

Treatment of bipolar affective disorder, Treatment of schizophrenia
Aripiprazole has high affinity for serotonin type 2 (5HT2), dopamine type 2 (D2), alpha1 and 2 adrenergic, and H1 histaminergic receptors. It also acts on a number of other receptors with lower affinity. The exact method by which aripiprazole's action on these receptors translates to a clinically relevant effect is not yet known.
Antidepressive Agents
Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems. (See all compounds classified as Antidepressive Agents.)
Dopamine Agonists
Drugs that bind to and activate dopamine receptors. (See all compounds classified as Dopamine Agonists.)
Dopamine D2 Receptor Antagonists
Compounds and drugs that bind to and inhibit or block the activation of DOPAMINE D2 RECEPTORS. (See all compounds classified as Dopamine D2 Receptor Antagonists.)
Serotonin 5-HT1 Receptor Agonists
Endogenous compounds and drugs that specifically stimulate SEROTONIN 5-HT1 RECEPTORS. Included under this heading are agonists for one or more of the specific 5-HT1 receptor subtypes. (See all compounds classified as Serotonin 5-HT1 Receptor Agonists.)
Serotonin 5-HT2 Receptor Antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate SEROTONIN 5-HT2 RECEPTORS, thereby blocking the actions of SEROTONIN or SEROTONIN 5-HT2 RECEPTOR AGONISTS. Included under this heading are antagonists for one or more specific 5-HT2 receptor subtypes. (See all compounds classified as Serotonin 5-HT2 Receptor Antagonists.)
Antipsychotic Agents
Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus. (See all compounds classified as Antipsychotic Agents.)

Absorption
Aripiprazole tablets are 87% bioavailable and reach peak plasma concentrations in 3 to 5 hours. These tablets can be taken with or without food, but a high fat meal can delay the time to max concentration by 3 hours and up to 12 hours for the active metabolite.
Route of Elimination
25% of a given dose will be eliminated in urine and 55% in the feces. <1% of a dose is eliminated in the urine as unmetabolized aripiprazole and approximately 18% of a dose will be eliminated in the feces unmetabolized.
Volume of Distribution
404L or 4.9L/kg.
Clearance
0.8mL/min/kg. Other studies have reported a clearance rate of 32971042mL/hr.
Oral availability 87%. Aripiprazole is well absorbed and can be administered with or without food. Administration with a high fat meal did not affect the Cmax or AUC, but delayed Tmax by 3 hours for aripiprazole, and 12 hours for dehydro-aripiprazole.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2015; Drug Information 2015. Bethesda, MD. 2015, p. 2431
Time to peak concentration: Peak plasma concentrations: within 3 to 5 hours.

Metabolism of aripiprazole is predominantly hepatic, mediated mostly by cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and CYP2D6. These enzymes perform dehydrogenation and hydroxylation while CYP3A4 alone performs N-dealkylation. At any given time, the active metabolite dehydro-aripiprazole is approximately 40% of the drug available in plasma.
Aripiprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver principally via dehydrogenation, hydroxylations, and N-dealkylation by the cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2D6 and 3A4 isoenzymes. The major active metabolite of aripiprazole, dehydro-aripiprazole, exhibits affinity for D2 receptors similar to that of the parent compound and represents approximately 40% of the aripiprazole area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) in plasma. Steady-state plasma concentrations of both aripiprazole and dehydro-aripiprazole are achieved within 14 days.

ABILIFY activity is presumably primarily due to the parent drug, aripiprazole, and to a lesser extent, to its major metabolite, dehydro-aripiprazole, which has been shown to have affinities for D2 receptors similar to the parent drug and represents 40% of the parent drug exposure in plasma.

The half life of aripiprazole is 75 hours while the half life of the active metabolite is 94 hours. For populations that are poor CYP2D6 metabolizers, the half life of aripiprazole is 146 hours and these patients should be treated with half the normal dose. Other studies have reported a half life of 61.0319.59 hours for aripiprazole and 279299 hours for the active metabolite.
The mean elimination half-lives are about 75 hours and 94 hours for aripiprazole and dehydro-aripiprazole, respectively.

The antipsychotic action of aripiprazole is likely due to the agonism of D2 and 5-HT1A receptors though the exact mechanism has not been defined. Some adverse effects may be due to action on other receptors. For example, orthostatic hypotension may be explained by antagonism of the adrenergic alpha1 receptors.
The exact mechanism of antipsychotic action of aripiprazole has not been fully elucidated but, like that of other atypical antipsychotic agents (e.g.,olanzipine, risperidone, ziprasidon), may involve the drug's activity at dopamine D2 and serotonin type (5-HT1A) and type 2 (5-HT2A) receptors. However, aripiprazole appears to differ from other atypical antipsychotic agents because the drug demonstrates partial agonist activity at D2 and 5-HT1A receptors and antagonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors. Antagonism at other receptors (e.g., alpha1-adrenergic receptors, histamine H1 receptors) may contribute to other therapeutic and adverse effects (e.g., orthostatic hypotension, somnolence) observed with aripiprazole.

...Aripiprazole exhibits typical antagonism at dopamine (D2) receptors in the mesolimbic pathway, as well as having unique partial agonist activity at D2 receptors in the mesocortical pathway. As exemplified by other atypical antipsychotics, it displays strong 5-HT(2a) receptor antagonism and is similar to ziprasidone in also having agonistic activity at the 5-HT(1a) receptor. Among the atypical antipsychotics, aripiprazole displays the lowest affinity for alpha(1)adrenergic (alpha(1)), histamine (H1) and muscarinic (M1) receptors. This combination of effects may be responsible for its efficacy in positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and in bipolar disorder. ...Other early data suggest that aripiprazole may induce reductions in plasma prolactin, as well as in plasma glucose and lipid profiles ...
