series of 7-(2-hydroxyethyl)benz[e]indene analogues of 3 alpha-hydroxy-5 beta-pregnan-20-one (7), a neuroactive steroid known to be a positive allosteric modulator of GABAAreceptorfunction, was prepared. Electrophysiological measurements carried out on cultured rat hippocampal neurons were used to evaluate the modulatory effects of the analogues on GABAAreceptorfunction. Analogues were tested for
