Description
3β,5α-THDOC is a neurosteroid. It inhibits seizures induced by pilocarpine, but not pentylenetetrazol (PTZ; ), in mice (ED50s = 45.9 and >100 mg/kg, respectively). 3β,5α-THDOC has been found in the urine of women during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Uses
3β,5α-Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone is a novel derivative of the steroid Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a known uncompetitive inhibitor of Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD). Studies have shown
that 3β,5α-Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone may have potential function in the modulation of calcium and GABAA-gated chloride channel currents found in rat and guinea-pig neurons. 3β,5α-Tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone is a novel derivative of the steroid Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a known uncompetitive inhibitor of Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD).
