Abstract

A series of prodrugs of brexanolone, the synthetic version of the endogenously produced γ-aminobutyric acid A receptors positive allosteric modulator allopregnanolone, were designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The effect of different function groups connecting to brexanolone C3 hydroxyl as well as those at the chain terminals of prodrug moieties were explored. Through these efforts, prodrugs that can efficiently release brexanolone in vitro and in vivo, and possess a potential for sustained delivery of a long acting brexanolone were discovered.
