The structure of the dopamine D3 receptor bound to cariprazine reveals principles for partial agonists with designed pharmacology
The third-generation antipsychotic cariprazine is a low-efficacy partial agonist of the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R). Here, we report the cryo–electron microscopy structure of cariprazine bound to D3R, establishing a framework for understanding ligand recognition in this receptor. We further determine structures of D3R i...
