Brexanolone is mixture of allopregnanolone and sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin in development for treatment of postpartum depression and refractory status epilepticus. Although exact mechanism leading to post-partum depression is not known, preclinical clinical work suggests a role for GABAA receptors. Allopregnanolone, the active ingredient in brexanolone, is an allosteric modulator of both synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors. During pregnancy increasing concentrations of allopregnanolone lead to GABA inhibition which must be quickly reversed at parturition when allopregnanolone concentrations rapidly decline. Treatment with brexanolone is intended to make up for the rapid drop in allopregnanolone at parturition.
