AboutLPCN 1154
LPCN 1154, oral brexanolone, a non-SSRI, is chemically identical to the endogenous human hormone allopregnanolone. Brexanolone is a positive allosteric modulator of y-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor. LPCN 1154 has the potential for rescue therapy for PPD with acute stabilization of symptoms in hours and no intensive monitoring requirement. LPCN 1154 has demonstrated clinically meaningful improved tolerability including low CNS depressant side effects, without the risks of disassociation or hallucination of psychedelics, thus potentially enabling a safe, at-home intervention, preserving the maternal-infant bond.
