Application
3α,21-Dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one (THDOC) has been used:
- as an γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (γ-GABAA) agonist in voltage-clamp measurements studies in Xenopus oocytes
- to test its effect on the spike-wave discharges (SWD) finasteride-treated rats
- in electrophysiological studies with dentate granule cells (DGCs) post controlled cortical impact (CCI) -induced brain injury
Biochem/physiol Actions
3α,21-Dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one (THDOC) is a positive allosteric modulator of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor (GABAA). By modulating GABAA receptor, THDOC allows sustained hyperpolarization and an increase in chloride influx and membrane conductance in neurons. THDOC, thus modulates neuronal excitability. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and sedative properties. The levels of THDOC show variation in different physiological states. A low THDOC level in the mensural phase is speculated to play a role in the pathogenesis of catamenial epilepsy (CE) in women. However, elevated levels are reported in depression. THDOC may have an indirect role in the hypothalamic-pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activation during acute stress.

General description
3α21-Dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one (THDOC) is a neurosteroid. It is synthesized in a two-step process from deoxycorticosterone (DOC) via 5α-dihydrodeoxycorticosterone (DHDOC) intermediate with enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase catalyzing these steps respectively.

Certain neuroactive steroids modulate ligand-gated ion channels via non-genomic mechanisms. Especially 3alpha-reduced pregnane steroids are potent positive allosteric modulators of the GABA type A-receptor. During major depression there is a dysequilibrium of 3alpha-reduced neuroactive steroids, which is corrected by clinically

Acute ethanol administration increases plasma and brain levels of progesterone and deoxycorticosterone-derived neuroactive steroids (3alpha,5alpha)-3-hydroxypregnan-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP) and (3alpha,5alpha)-3,21-dihydroxypregnan-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THDOC) in rats. However, little is known about ethanol effects on GABAergic neuroactive steroids in mice, nonhuman primates, or humans. We investigated

Endogenous neurosteroids affect brain excitability during physiological states such as pregnancy and the menstrual cycle, and during conditions of acute and chronic stress. The neurosteroid allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) is an allosteric modulator of the GABA(A) receptor. Although the role of THDOC

GABA(A) receptors mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain via synaptic and extrasynaptic receptors. The delta (delta)-subunit-containing receptors are expressed exclusively extra-synaptically and mediate tonic inhibition. In the present study, we were interested in determining the architecture of receptors containing

Stress affects seizure susceptibility in animals and humans, but the underlying mechanisms are obscure. Here, we provide evidence that GABA(A) receptor-modulating neurosteroids derived from deoxycorticosterone (DOC) play a role in stress-related changes in seizure control. DOC, an adrenal steroid whose
