Overview

AX251 is a long-acting injectable (LAI) formulation of cariprazine, an atypical antipsychotic, being developed by Anxo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for the treatment of schizophrenia. Cariprazine, the active moiety, functions as a partial agonist at dopamine D3 and D2 receptors, with a notably high affinity for the D3 subtype, and as a partial agonist at serotonin 5-HT1A receptors. The LAI formulation is designed to improve treatment adherence and provide stable therapeutic drug levels over an extended period compared to daily oral administration. AX251 is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, where it is being evaluated for its pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in patients with clinically stable schizophrenia.
