| Ganaxolone |
Ganaxolone is a methyl analogue of the endogenous neurosteroid allopregnanolone. Ganaxolone is a neuroactive steroid that positively and allosterically modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors in the CNS by interacting with a recognition site that is distinct from other allosteric GABAA receptor modulators. Its anticonvulsant effects are thought to result from this modulation of GABAA receptor function providing constant, or tonic, modulation of GABA-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission. |
