Inhibition of the GABAA Receptor by Sulfated Neurosteroids: A Mechanistic Comparison Study between Pregnenolone Sulfate and Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate.

J. Mol. Neurosci. 56(4) , 868-77, (2015)

The γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) is negatively modulated by two structurally similar neurosteroids, pregnenolone sulfate (PS) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). This study attempted to ascertain the molecular mechanisms of inhibition ...

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is neuroprotective in a reversible spinal cord ischemia model: possible involvement of GABA(A) receptors.

Stroke 31 , 1953-1957, (2000)

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) may function as neurotrophic or neuroprotective factors to protect central nervous system (CNS) neurons against a variety of insults, including excitotoxicity. The present study evaluated the pharmacologi...

Neurosteroid analogues. 6. The synthesis and GABAA receptor pharmacology of enantiomers of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, pregnenolone sulfate, and (3alpha,5beta)-3-hydroxypregnan-20-one sulfate.

J. Med. Chem. 41 , 2604-2613, (1998)

The unnatural enantiomers of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (1), pregnenolone sulfate (2), and (3alpha,5beta)-3-hydroxypregnan-20-one sulfate (3), compounds 4-6, respectively, were prepared by total steroid synthesis. The enantioselectivity of the compounds a...

Sulfated and unsulfated steroids modulate gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptor function through distinct sites.

Brain Res. 830 , 72-87, (1999)

Sulfated and unsulfated neurosteroids such as pregnenolone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), pregnanolone, and allopregnanolone, modulate ionotropic amino acid neurotransmitter receptors, and may function as endogenous neuromodulators. The gamm...

Differential blockade of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors by the neuroactive steroid dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in posterior and intermediate pituitary.

Mol. Pharmacol. 55 , 489-496, (1999)

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is a neuroactive steroid with antagonist action at gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors. Patch-clamp techniques were used to investigate DHEAS actions at GABAA receptors of the rat pituitary gland at two dist...
