Zuranolone is a neuroactive steroid that acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptors. Unlike other more common GABAA positive allosteric modulators on the market like benzodiazepines, zuranolone can modulate both synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA conductance due to binding to a non-benzodiazepine site on the receptor.[A260776,A260786] Zuranolone was...

Pipotiazine has actions similar to those of other phenothiazines. Among the different phenothiazine derivatives, it appears to be less sedating and to have a weak propensity for causing hypotension or potentiating the effects of CNS depressants and anesthetics.
