Therapy with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists appears to improve outcome after experimental hematoma but with unacceptable side effects. We looked to synthetic GABA agonists, or positive GABA modulators, widely developed as anticonvulsants and anxiolytics, to find compounds that may be effective. Ganaxolone is a synthetic neuroactive steroid that positively modulates GABA. We sought to determine whether ganaxolone was beneficial using a model of intracerebral hematoma.
