Difference between Allopregnanolone and Isopregnanolone

Allopregnanolone vs. Isopregnanolone

Allopregnanolone is a naturally occurring neurosteroid which is made in the body from the hormone progesterone. Isopregnanolone, also known as isoallopregnanolone and epiallopregnanolone, as well as sepranolone, and as 3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one or 3β,5α-tetrahydroprogesterone (3β,5α-THP), is an endogenous neurosteroid and a natural 3β-epimer of allopregnanolone.

Similarities between Allopregnanolone and Isopregnanolone

Allopregnanolone and Isopregnanolone have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allosteric modulator, Anesthesia, Benzodiazepine, Biological half-life, Biosynthesis, Endogeny (biology), Epipregnanolone, GABAA receptor, Hormone, Natural product, Neurosteroid, Pregnancy, Pregnanolone, Progesterone, Sedation, 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 3β-Dihydroprogesterone, 5α-Dihydroprogesterone, 5α-Reductase.

Allosteric modulator

In pharmacology and biochemistry, allosteric modulators are a group of substances that bind to a receptor to change that receptor's response to stimuli.

Benzodiazepine

Benzodiazepines (BZD, BDZ, BZs), colloquially called "benzos", are a class of depressant drugs whose core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring.

Biological half-life

Biological half-life (elimination half-life, pharmacological half-life) is the time taken for concentration of a biological substance (such as a medication) to decrease from its maximum concentration (Cmax) to half of Cmax in the blood plasma.

Biosynthesis

Biosynthesis, i.e., chemical synthesis occuring in biological contexts, is a term most often referring to multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where chemical substances absorbed as nutrients (or previously converted through biosynthesis) serve as enzyme substrates, with conversion by the living organism either into simpler or more complex products.
