20β-Dihydroprogesterone, also known as allopregnanolone, is a neurosteroid and a derivative of progesterone. It is a naturally occurring hormone in the body and acts as a potent positive allosteric modulator of the GABA-A receptor. Allopregnanolone has neuroactive and neuroprotective properties and is involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of mood, stress response, and cognitive function.
