Evaluation of preclinical antipsychotic models used to support first‐in‐human clinical trials
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Schizophrenia is regarded as a complex and heterogeneous psychiatric disorder, characterised by diverse symptoms and comorbidities, which complicate both clinical management and drug development. Current pharmacological treatment, primarily based on dopamine D2 receptor antagonism or partial agonism, which has not markedly progressed since the
