  • Publication number: 20260115206
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and an oral composition for treating CNS disorders. An embodiment of the invention comprises orally administering a 3?-OH-5?-pregnan-20-one containing composition to a subject having a CNS disorder. The composition preferably exhibits a high release rate of the 3?-OH-5?-pregnan-20-one, and when mixed with an aqueous solution, a high dispersion value. The composition is also preferably more soluble than a comparable SBE-?-CD containing composition. Further in the embodiment, the solubility of the composition when mixed in a FeSSIF is substantially similar to the solubility of the composition when mixed in a FaSSIF.
