α-Androstenol

Overview

α-Androstenol (5α-Androst-16-en-3α-ol) is a steroid pheromone that has been found in boar testes and male axillary sweat. α-Androstenol is also a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors , which enhances GABA-activated currents in primary mouse cerebellar granule cells ( EC 50 of 0.4 μM). α-Androstenol produces anxiolytic-like, antidepressant-like, and anticonvulsant effects in mice. α-Androstenol can be used for the research of seizures.
