Bifeprunox, code name DU-127,090 is an atypical antipsychotic agent, which combines minimal D2 receptor agonism with 5-HT receptor agonism. Bifeprunox was in phase III of clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia, Bipolar Depression and in phase I for Parkinson's disease, but these studies were discontinued because efficacy data did not support pursuing the existing development strategy of stabilization of non-acute patients with schizophrenia.
