Ganaxolone (INN, also known as CCD-1042) is a synthetic neuroactive steroid related to allopregnanolone that has sedative, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant effects. It is a potent and selective positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor.[1] Ganaxolone protects against seizures in diverse animal models, including the pentylenetetrazol, 6 Hz and amygdala kindling models.[2][3][4] Unlike for benzodiazepines, there does not appear to be tolerance to the anticonvulsant effects of ganaxolone.[5]

Ganaxolone is being investigated for potential medical use in the treatment of epilepsy. It is well tolerated in human trials (with exposure of >900 patients), with the main side-effects being sedation, dizziness, fatigue, and headache.[6] Trials in adults with partial seizures and in infantile spasms have recently been completed.[7][8][9]
