Abstract: Compounds exhibiting 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha/beta-steroid blocking action with no or only low antagonism against the gamma-aminobutyric acid (A) receptor (GABA-A), and compounds exhibiting partial antagonism against said receptor are presented. Methods for the prevention, treatment and/or alleviation of various CNS-disorders are suggested, as well as pharmaceutical compositions for such use.

Abstract: Steroid compounds possessing a hydrogen donor in 3beta position, either in the form of a hydroxy- or a sulfate group, function as efficient blockers of the 3alpha-hydroxy-pregnan-steroid action and thus have utility as therapeutic substances for the prevention and/or treatment of steroid related CNS disorders. Treatment methods based on the administration of these substances are disclosed, and these substances either alone or in combination are also suggested for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of many specific steroid induced CNS disorders.
