Selective antagonist of neuro-steroid potentiation and direct gating of GABAA receptors. Selectively reduces the effects of 5α-reduced steroids compared to 5β-reduced steroids & displays no effect on potentiation evoked by barbiturates & benzodiazepines. Attenuates 3α,5α-THP-induced loss of righting reflex and total sleep time following i.c.v administration in rats.
