Posovolone (developmental code name Co 134444) is a synthetic neurosteroid which was under development as a sedative/hypnotic medication for the treatment of insomnia.[1][2] [3][4] It is orally active and acts as a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator.[1][5][2] In animals, posovolone shows anticonvulsant, anxiolytic-like, ataxic, and sleep-promoting effects and appeared to produce effects similar to those of pregnanolone.[2][6] Development of the agent was started by 1999 and appears to have been discontinued by 2007.[1][6] In 2021, an INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name was registered for posovolone with the descriptor of "antidepressant".[5] Posovolone was originally developed by Purdue Pharma.[1]
