Validation of Receptor Occupancy Simulation

April 4, 2019 updated by: Jun Soo Kwon, Seoul National University Hospital
  • To estimate dopamine receptor occupancy by aripiprazole using computer simulation
  • To measure dopamine receptor occupancy by aripiprazole in patients treated with the antipsychotics
  • To validate the simulation result by comparing the receptor occupancy from the simulation with that from the patients
