This drug has high affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, D2 and α1B, 2C receptors. It displays partial agonism at 5-HT1A and D2 receptors and potent antagonism at 5-HT2Aand α1B, 2C adrenergic receptors. It also has some affinity (antagonism) for D3, 5-HT2B, 5-HT7 and α1A, 1D receptors, and moderate affinity for H1 and low affinity for M1 receptors. It has antipsychotic effect to improve the sleep patterns and cognitive performance; also, it has the potential to treat anhedonia (a loss of capacity to feel pleasure) and cognitive deficits as core symptoms in major depressive disorder and schizophrenia with a few side effects. Usually augmented with other typical and some atypical antipsychotics drugs to improve both positive and negative symptoms (2).Brexpiprazole is chemically designated as 7-{4-[4-(1benzothiophen-4-yl) piperazin-1-yl]butoxy}-1,2-dihydroquinolin-2one. Its molecular formula is C 25 H 27 N 3 O 2 S, and its molecular weight is 433.57. Brexpiprazole is a white-to-off white powder. It is practically insoluble in water and freely soluble in methanol [3]. A review of the literature revealed that a few analytical methods have been described for the determination of brexpiprazole in pharmaceutical by HPLC method [4], and in human urine sample with its metabolites using liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF). [5] Up to date there is no study dealing with electrochemical behavior of BRX based on its oxidation or reduction, one aim of the present study was the investigation of electrochemical oxidation behavior of BRX using voltammetric methods. Development of new validated stripping voltammetric determination methods for the assay of BRX in
