Description: Potent positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors
Alternative Names: CCD 1042
Chemical Name: (3α,5α)-3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-pregnan-20-one
Biological Activity for Ganaxolone
Ganaxolone is a potent positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors. Enhances GABA-evoked chloride currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing GABAA receptors (EC50 values are 94, 122 and 213 nM for α2β1γ2L, α3β1γ2L and α1β1γ2L receptors respectively). Exerts anticonvulsive effects in a broad range of animal seizure models.
