4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Brexanolone is a synthetic neuroactive steroid gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABA(a)) receptor positive modulator indicated for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD) in adult women.


FDA Label


Treatment of postpartum depression


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Brexanolone potentiated GABA-mediated currents from recombinant human GABA(a) receptors in mammalian cells expressing 122 receptor subunits, 43 receptor subunits, and 63 receptor subunits. Moreover, it was determined during a Phase 1 randomized, placebo and positive-controlled, double-blind, three-period crossover thorough QT study in 30 healthy adult subjects that brexanolone use did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent when administered at 1.9-times the exposure occurring at the highest recommended infusion rate (90 mcg/kg/hour).


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anesthetics

Agents capable of inducing a total or partial loss of sensation, especially tactile sensation and pain. They may act to induce general ANESTHESIA, in which an unconscious state is achieved, or may act locally to induce numbness or lack of sensation at a targeted site. (See all compounds classified as Anesthetics.)


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

It has been determined that brexanolone has a low oral bioavailability of approximately <5% in adults, which suggests infant exposure would also be expected to be low.


Route of Elimination

Following the administration of radiolabeled brexanolone, it was observed that 47% of the administrated dose was recovered largely as metabolites in the feces and 42% in urine, where less than 1% as recovered as unchanged brexanolone.


Volume of Distribution

The volume of distribution documented for brexanolone is approximately 3 L/kg, a value which suggests relatively extensive distribution into tissues.


Clearance

The total plasma clearance determined for brexanolone is approximately 1 L/h/kg.


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Brexanolone is extensively metabolized by non-cytochrome (CYP) based pathways by way of three main routes - keto-reduction (via aldo-keto reductases), glucuronidation (via UDP-glucuronosyltransferases), and sulfation (via sulfotransferases). Three predominant circulating metabolites result from such metabolic pathways and they are all pharmacologically inactive and ultimately do not contribute to the overall efficacy of the medication.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

The terminal half-life observed for brexanolone is approximately 9 hours.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Brexanolone is a neuroactive steroid that occurs naturally (referred to as natural allopregnanolone) in the body when the female sex hormone progesterone is metabolized. This steroid compound is also believed to exhibit activity as a barbiturate-like, positive allosteric modulator of both synaptic and extrasynaptic GABA(a) receptors. In doing so, brexanolone can enhance the activity of GABA at such receptors by having GABA(a) receptor calcium channels open more often and for longer periods of time. Furthermore, it is believed that brexanolone elicits such action on GABA(a) receptors at a binding site that is distinct from those associated with benzodiazepines. Concurrently, GABA is considered the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human body. When GABA binds to GABA(a) receptors found in neuron synapses, chloride ions are conducted across neuron cell membranes via an ion channel in the receptors. With enough chloride ions conducted, the local, associated neuron membrane potentials are hyperpolarized - making it more difficult or less likely for action potentials to fire, ultimately resulting in less excitation of the neurons, like those involved in neuronal pathways that may be in part responsible for eliciting certain traits of PPD like stress, anxiety, etc. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that can affect women after childbirth. Women with PPD experience feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that can make it difficult or even dangerous for them to perform various daily activities or care for themselves or for others, including newborn. Although the exact pathophysiology of PPD remains unknown, it is believed that altered profiles and rapid, unpredictable fluctuations in the blood concentrations of neuroactive steroids like endogenous brexanolone (among others), GABA, and GABA receptors occur in women who are at risk of PPD after childbirth. In particular, within the context of PPD, it is proposed that endogenous brexanolone levels can quickly drop or fluctuate variedly after childbirth and that GABA(a) receptor levels and expression are decreased and down-regulated throughout pregnancy. Such fluctuations and decreases may consequently leave women susceptible to the possibility of PPD. As a medication, synthetic brexanolone can subsequently facilitate a return of positive allosteric modulator GABA(a) modulation while GABA(a) receptor levels and expression gradually return to normal in the time following postpartum. As such, studies suggest the potential for the development of brexanolone as a new mechanism for treatment of PPD that is directly related to the underlying pathophysiology as opposed to many other antidepressant medications whose pharmacological actions are usually entirely unrelated.
