I have been reading about it and how it works, TAAR1 activator. It doesn’t cause movement disorders. But I read that TAAR1 affects dopamine so I wonder if it will be good for negative symptoms. How does reducing dopamine indirectly vs blocking dopamine receptors work?
an agonist at the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors
Ulotarant was awarded a Breakthrough Therapy designation due to its increased efficacy and greatly reduced side effects compared to current treatments
Ulotaront (INN; developmental codes SEP-363856, SEP-856) is an investigational antipsychotic that is undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease psychosis. The medication was discovered in collaboration between PsychoGenics Inc. and Sunovion Pharmaceuticals using PsychoGenics' behavior and AI-based phenotypic drug discovery platform, SmartCube. Ulotaront is in Phase III of clinical development.
Research has shown that ulotaront results in a greater redu...

5-HT1A receptor agonists like buspirone and flesinoxan show efficacy in relieving anxiety and depression ,
TAAR1 plays a significant role in regulating neurotransmission in dopamine , norepinephrine , and serotonin neurons in the CNS

Anyone has any idea on how this AP will affect the dopamine neurotransmitter?

It raises insulin
Thats a good thing, blood glucose will be lower and less risk of diabetes.

My guess is that it will be the best for weight loss. TAAR1 activation reduces body weight and it doesn’t affect serotonin receptors that cause weight gain like other APs.

It should also be good for anxiety and depression given that its a 5-HT1A agonist.

KarXT is also in Clinical Trials phase 3 but only in phase 1 for negative and cognitive symptoms.

I have a feeling we would still have negative symptoms indirectly lowering dopamine but I guess we will just have to see
