Ganaxolone
Ganaxolone is the 3β-methylated synthetic analog of allopregnanolone, a metabolite of progesterone. Ganaxolone belongs to a class of compounds referred to as neurosteroids. Endogenous neurosteroids, which comprise certain metabolites of progesterone and deoxycorticosterone, bind potently and specifically to GABAA receptors to enhance their inhibitory effects, and are thus known to...

Approved
Netilmicin
Netilmicin is a semisynthetic 1-N-ethyl derivative of sisomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic with action similar to gentamicin, but less ear and kidney toxicity. Netilmicin inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible organisms by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and interfering with mRNA binding and the acceptor tRNA site. The bactericidal effect...
