Zuranolone
Zuranolone is a neuroactive steroid and positive allosteric modulator of GABA-A receptors that binds to synaptic and extrasynaptic GABA-A receptor complexes, enhancing chloride ion conductance and overall inhibitory neurotransmission to reduce neuronal hyperexcitability associated with mood disorders. It is approved as a two-week oral treatment course for major depressive disorder and postpartum depression, offering rapid onset of antidepressant effects. Unlike SSRIs, it targets GABAergic rather than monoaminergic pathways, potentially addressing neurobiological underpinnings of depression related to GABA deficiency.
