Bioactivity | Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone, an neurosteroid, is a potent positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of GABAA receptor. Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone has potent neuroinhibitory properties[1][2]. |
Invitro | The endogenous neurosteroid Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) at physiological concentrations selectively enhances tonic currents mediated by αβδ receptors[1].In hippocampus, 10 nM Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone reduces neuronal excitability by augmenting tonic αβδ receptor currents. In thalamocortical neurons, although 100 nM Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone enhances tonic currents, 10 nM Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone does not[1]. |
