GtoPdb Ligand ID: 10537

Synonyms: (3β,5β,17β)-3-hydroxyandrostane-17-carbonitrile [1] | B260 [2]
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: 3β-OH is a neuroactive steroid analogue that produces general anaesthetic/hypnotic effects in vivo, but without associated neurotoxicity [1]. It blocks presynaptic transmitter release without affecting major postsynaptic ligand-gated ion channels. The chemical structure of 3β-OH is based on that of progesterone, with an OH substitution at position 3, and a CN group substitution at position 3. This chemical structure is claimed as B260 in patent WO2015149066A1 [2]. Mechanistically, 3β-OH selectively targets T-type voltage-gated calcium channels (T-channels; Cav3.1, Cav3.2, and Cav3.3) to mediate its hypnotic activity. 3β-OH exhibits minimal activity towards voltage-gated Na+ and K+ currents, N-type and L-type Ca2+ currents [3-4] or currents generated via recombinant GABAA and NMDA channels [5].
